Re: Weird issue with RF 100-500 and 1.4x teleconverter

I've had this happen a couple of times with the 2X. The first time really worried me, but in a second I discovered that just zooming the lens out a bit released the limiter. Not a biggie once you understand what's happening, but really worrisome the first time.

Now I rarely remove the Extender unless the lens is zoomed a bit, and the "problem" hasn't occurred lately.
