Hi Doc,

Thanks for the beautiful pictures! Looks like you had a great day! 😃

Could you be so kind and give us your (first) impression on the optical performance of the 150-600mm in comparison to the 100-400mm with the 1.4x extender attached? Since both have f8 as their fastest aperture, and the maximum focal length is quite similar, it is a big question for many of us if there is and optical advantage.

Thanks a lot for you help,

Lars

I get mine tomorrow, ill be able to test it on Thursday with some raptors and buzzards, if it doesn't outperform the 100-400 with and without the 1.4tc in every way I will be very disappointed and would return it and stick with adapted lenses like the Nikon PF lenses.
