Hey Alex,

Did I forget to mention that it’s not the 400mm F5.6 that I have, but the 400mm F2.8 stopped down to F5.6. Just kidding!

I did fit the x1.4TC and x2 TC on the 400mm and the atmospheric affects degraded the images too much, although I did only have my lightweight carbon fibre tripod and a ball head – not the ideal combo for these obscenely long focal lengths at F8 and F11 respectively.

I just cannot imagine holding (or owning!) a 500mm or 600mm F4 piece of glass – they are simply in a different league!

Cheers

Dennis
