Just because I'm the OP here I figure I should clarify for posterity. I did not put the 2x on the 300mm f/5.6 on the R7; I did do this on the R5 (as it was designed for) and found that the results at f/5.6 were too blurry and needed to be stopped down to f/7.1 or f/8 for sharpness. This is normal and not surprising, but there isn't a miracle here with the 300mm f/2.8+2x. The performance with the ef 1.4x mk iii is great though even wide open at f/4. Again, typical of top performing TCs.

This is where confusion as to who said what.  I knew that you said you put those on the R5 but Thriller thought otherwise, and led to confusing thoughts in my head.

Yes, absolutely I mentioned these things as desirable attributes in wildlife photography. I would beg to differ that noise is not a function of the camera as sensors definitely dictate noise levels when controlling for everything else. Also, full frame cameras do provide nicer boken than crop sensors typically. Again, separate from the lens. However, don't disagree that lens choice is a big part of this.

Agreed.
