p.1 #1Viltrox TC x2 vs sony
Hello,

I own the 300mm f/2.8 along with the Sony 2x teleconverter.
The 600mm f/5.6 setup is decent, but there is a noticeable loss of sharpness, and the autofocus isn't the best for tracking birds.

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Viltrox 2x teleconverter and compared it to the Sony version?

Thanks, Fabien

Only on my 100gm and 70-200gmii

To be honest, couldn't see any real difference between them quality wise, albeit quite simplistic testing, just static shots of brick walls and some basic close ups

AF felt a tiny bit worse and the 100gm did feel like it hunted a little more but not really anything deal breaking, sure you already know about the exif quirks with the viltrox

I returned the Sony and kept the Viltrox, although mainly for use on the third party lenses, if it was only for use on the 300, would have probably gone for the Sony

Thank you,

I think I'll stick with the Sony.
I believe it will be better for autofocus.
