for those who are curious about adding tc on ef 600mm f4II, here are 2 moon shots with and without 1.4xIII TC. the lens IQ takes a big hit when TC is added. i haven't taken my lens on field tour yet i do have the 2.0xIII TC as well and i didn't bother with it because i knew it'll look awful. i have PPed the shots on my uncalibrated laptop so i don't know how it'd look like on your monitor. please let me know if the posted photos look weird on your monitor. the RAW pictures look very nice and sharp with excellent contrast on my monitor. any comment is welcomed.

cheerz.

the bare 600 shot looks fantastic.

I am puzzled by the bad quality of the 1.4x image ???

Are you sure everything was done properly?

My 300 II sees almost no degradation with the 1.4x III on it - could it be that you had not focussed perfectly or any other user flaw? If the degradation is that big I would not like to use it - my 300 looks better with the 2x III on it (if I recall my images right)
