[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 570849, member: 25183"] I've just picked up my Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 1.4X TC. I should have had it last Friday but for some reason UPS delivered it to a hospital instead of the camera store, wtf is that about?!? Anyway I've just had a quick play shooting sparrows and a pigeon in my garden. First impressions are that this and the 200-500mm will be a very good combo in good light. IQ still looks very good to me and the biggest degradation I think will come from higher iso and/or slower shutter as a result of going from f/5.6 to f/8. If the light is there that won't be a problem I don't think but it's cloudy here at the moment. Here are the first couple of shots I've compared, more to come. First shot is with the TC at 700mm (1050mm 35mm equivalent), second is shot at 500mm (750mm) and cropped to match as closely as I can. The only other editing is some sharpening in Lightroom. [ATTACH type="full"]221301._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]221348._xfImport[/ATTACH] It will be difficult to see much difference on here I know but I think one thing that stands out is the background looks smoother with the TC [B]Edit: I had forgotten both were shot at f/8, had I been at f/5.6 + 500mm the difference of depth of field wouldn't be so noticeable if at all[/B]. Honestly the shutter speed was too slow here so I think that might have hurt sharpness in both, especially at 700mm. [/QUOTE]
