Hi all,

I'm typically a basketball shooter with limited outdoor soccer experience. Looking to add an appropriate teleconverter for my RF 70-200 Z -- what do the soccer shooters here recommend? Seems like 140-400 would be a more useful range, but I'm happy to save the light transmission and the cost if the opinion is that 1.4x is a more functional option.

Rent them both a few days before you have some games and make a totally informed decision.

Personally, I would not use a teleconverter. Position yourself to where the action comes to you. You can do a lot of damage with a 70-200mm when you are in the right spot.
