GH4, Canon 100-400-II, 2X TC & Moon at 1600mm EFL

Atmosphere quite unstable, but caught some pretty sharp frames with elect. shutter bursts. I dug up a 12 year old inexpensive Quantaray Canon 2X TC from my boneyard, and in front of the Metabones Smart T adapter it allows all lens functions, including accurate AF-S and superb 4 EV OIS - up from 2 EV in the original 100-400. Image full sized from RAW.

At a bit shaky soon 77 years old, I can handhold this enormous EFL and get sharp shots at125th sec. But I get frequent error messages and black screen, so a v.iii Canon 2X TC is in the future.

The short video clip is shot in 4K 30p with 2X digital zoom, and rendered in 1080 30p, for an EFL of 3200mm!
