The new lens will not help you much

Blame it on the AFC of the XT4 and not the TC or 100-400

If you want to see improvements, you 'll need to jump to X-H2S

Cheers,

I have no issue with the AFC of the XT4. Just spent the weekend at a polo tournament and the XT4 AFC on galloping horses was fine. I plan to post some examples soonest when I get a moment around work.

What makes you say it is to blame?

Hmmm. I'll try focusing on galloping horses instead of distant birds. I see the teleconverter as the source of the problem because I had a significantly higher success rate finding focus at 400mm without it. Even then, it was better to zoom out a bit but not all the way to 100mm.
