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

It's a cheap plastic, overpriced, less than adequate aperture lens it would snap in about 5 seconds out in the wilderness, the image quality is on par with the six year old EF 100-400 II, made of metal and a far better product for the price.

Plus that bokeh is ugh.

Sony's £1500 200-600 is a step in the right direction and I don't understand why Canon doesn't do the same, instead they release these awful RF 600/800 f11 lenses. But alas, if you feel you can't get closer to your subject, pickup the 1.4X, as you don't lose as much light nor image quality as the 2X.

Basically only use a 2X if you have to on a good quality prime.
