I see that the subject of using the Canon 100-400 f/4.5-f/5.6L IS (II) has come up here, and with some favorable comments, at least if the rear baffle is removed. A lot of the information about this possibility is fragmented, spread across the web in various bits and pieces. Does anyone know of a single, reliable resource regarding this? It would include things such as how the AF works, which adapter is used (assuming Fringer?), how much vignetting with the. baffle removed, optical quality of the image in the corners, etc. (Also, how well does the lens work on Canon FF after the baffle is removed?)
Even better would be sources that include full-frame images (in reduced size versions, please!) of the images produced by this lens.
And, any info on the performance of this lens with the Canon 1.4x TC in place?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, I'm once again considering the GFX system if I'm convinced that this lens would be a viable solution to my long FL needs, especially with the current pricing on the GFX 100s.
