Re: RF extender experiences with RF 100-500 1.4x vs 2.0?

I have the R5 and the RF100-500 and the RF1,4x. Which is a fantastic combo. With the R6 the actual pixelsize is 1,4x bigger. In order to arrive the same details on your distant object you would have to chose the 2x extender so I would propose to take this one. On the R5 the RF2x may be stretch and gaining no extra real detail. I had the same experience with the EF mark III extenders when using them with my 5d3 and the 7d2 with similar pixel size differences ...
