Thanks for sharing these Alex. What do you think about the AF in shadow areas with 400 alone and with 1.4x. Is it same as 600? Also what's the keeper rate with 2x? I don't expect miracles here. It'd be a bonus at 800mm
Also what do you think about the sharpness of 600 vs 400+1.4x? Your comment is really appreciated.

I ordered on Saturday from B&H and didn't think I'd be part of the first batch, but it shipped today. Can't wait to try it, I sold my 300GM last week.
Looks like 600 is way more popular than 400. I ordered the day it was announced and will get it tomorrow. I too sold 300 because I was using 300+1.4 most of the time.

Got 400 today. Initial impression is that it's slightly sharper than Nikon version with and without 1.4x. This is what I was looking for. Happy about sharpness. Will try AF with birds soon.

If possible, I'd like to hear from real users how the performance with the 2x TC is. How is the AF-C? Hit / miss ratio while shooting bif at 800mm? Hoping to hear from multiple users. Thanks!
