I always strike for full frame if possible, no crop. Adding a tc or crop like you do completely change the image perspective too. Also, consider that your are comparing image with original TC to...

I've been to this events in Dallas area in the past. The dance area isn't pretty, you have to deal with tents, trash cans  and obstructions that's spoiling the scenes. Yours are clearly showing...

wow, that's very impressive for 6 years (0r 5?) warranty. Thanks for sharing.

Where did u get the idea that changing lenses would damage sensor?

Well, if it's worth the asking price, i won't mind. i rather have a superior optics than mediocre ones. Friend has the old version and it's really bad compare to Canon 100-400. If Canon revamp the...

Not sure which 400mm u are using but you need a hell lot more shutter speed.  1/400 or 1/500 is too slow. You ain't gonna get detail at that speed for BIF.  Try 1/1600 or faster. You got one hella...

Bob, You do not want to get the old 2x, it's a garbage compare the new 2x III. It worth the asking price.

I live in the city, Dallas. Birds are extremely shy as oppose to guys from Florida. I have to try 10 times harder to get a few keeper. I guess i don't get that much chances to try BIF on 2x from...

Yes, 2x slowing down AF way too much for BIF.

On the extender, 1x or 2x III. I think every shooters use it so frequently should upgrade it! I have so many TCs, 7-8 of them from different brands as well as Canon version II and i recently...

Don't know much about the ver I but i have the new Sigma 2X, Canon 2X II and the new 2X III. The latter is a day and night different compare to the II - not just sharpness, far better color and...

I been 2x, 1x and have many other brands than just the Canon ones, and recently got me the new 2x III. Hack, i don't really care how it's been attached in what order. IT DOESN"T matter. It takes...

Seriously, these images make news how? Hope he didn't waste all the time taking mobile-grade pictures during 4-year once event.

Agreed, I sell stuffs on ebay as well. It's a pain to deal with people like poster. I have buyer walked out on auction before then it took him a week to response to the auction retract! I can't...

Tried out friend of mine new 5D Mark III for erratic birds in flight even mark IV can't pick it up consistently. After a morning, i'm keeping my Mark IV and put the thought of " "upgrading" to 5d3...
