The IQ is not bad at all. Is it better than before, that I wouldn\'t know because I have never mounted a 2xTC on any 500, and I am not likely to do it ever again.
I would never use a 2x TC on an f4 lens (I don\'t even like it on an f2.8), but those are Impressive none-the-less Peter. Well done.
Thanx Gary, I am with you there.......I do not even know why I bought the darn 2xTC MkIII.......out of curiosity, I guess. The other reason was travel, when I like to take 70-200 f/2.8 IS with me one way or another. In addition, I can toss 2xTC in a suitcase just in case some more distant wildlife opportunity should arise.
Here is a bare 500 II shot of a nice looking youngster.
Handheld 1DsMkII +500 II, about 50 % crop.
The ISO 800 noise cleanup + file downsizing has obviously left mixed results on the water surface. This is where 1DX has no-contest superiority.
