Update with 1.2.1 firmware. The 1.4xiii extender now autofocuses quickly and reliably.  the 2xiii does not, and when manually focused, autofocus pull it off focus.  Neither lens reports properly....

WHOley CanOly....  you got da touch man.

For me, this is the definition of AWESOME.... as in truly. Thanks!

Anyone with the official 1.2.1 firmware and a 70-300L + 1.4x TC III getting a working autofocus?

THAT....  is a brilliant idea.  The guy checking his iPhone on the street, is essentially invisible.

I can mount box 1.4xiii and 2xiii teleconverters on my 70-300 is L, but it requires the lens to be entirely zoomed to get them on, with almost no room to come in.  Neither will autofocus, and the...

But I believe that he OP was thinking hipshots, meaning, no viewfinder or lcd.  It's an odd technique but potentially necessary for stealth shooting.  I did some of it, collecting reference shots...

Big props for your site Brad - truly impressive pics I sold my mark II after not touching it for the first 6 months of my mark III.  Autofocus was the huge boone.  Suddenly far more keepers, and...

Curious to know what you prefer about the 1DS mkII over your 1Dx... Cheers d pro photo-illustrationhttp://www.DaveSeeley.com/current kit: 5DmkIII, 17-35/2.8L, 24-70/2.8L II, 24-105/4L, 70-200 is...

Spectacular! congratulations Vasile

Thanks for solving my mystery Ian, I had an SD card in the cam too, recording s3 jpegs, and those are still on that card, and sure enough, those frames are fine.  Then I found the CF that I shot...

So these were shot at a family wedding - no flash...  over lighted dance floor.  Many good shots in between these.  Many many other shoots, and never seen this before.  Can someone enlighten...

Hi Quadrox, I did the upgrade for the IS v1 to v2, and did some comparison shots, hand holding from across the room at 200mm.  The V1 was sharp and impressive, but damned if the second version was...

actually not so...  the excellent 70-300L does take the TCs, but only when zoomed a bit... so you lose the wide end of the range...  typically, you don't want that went the TC is mounted, so...

amen... There is misconception, even among photographers, that quality Photoshop work can be done by anyone, so you have to compete with everyone else doing it...  That's as ludicrous as believing...

Hi Penguin, I make my living as a Photoshop wizard...  and not as a photographer.  Funny that I've asked similar questions on pricing here for common photographers' services, because I have no...

Very Cool MarcioI'm very curious about how you pulled this off on zero budget...  Did everyone participate just to make "art"?  Did everyone pay their own transportation costs?  Were all the...

I'm about to go visit family, where we hang out in dimly lit rooms and chat...  I'll be snapping portait pics with my 5diii.  My new 24-70L ii is sharper even at f2.8 than the 24-105L is at 4.0,...

The mark iii is so worth the upgrade for focus alone...  I felt like my lenses all got much sharper after making the switch.  Love the new 24-70L II, but I might not if it was mounted on a mark ii.

Great kit, but I'd second the 70-300L in this situation. I've no safari experience but the reach will be critical... you can stack the extenders on the 70-200L, but it's a beast for travel......
