I have never been a great fan of the 2x converter and tend to use it for emergency only. It needs good light and a high shutter speed to work well, so I thought I would play with it just for fun.
Used on a 500mm f4 giving an actual focal length of 1,000mm, or including the 1.3 crop, a percieved focal length of 1,300mm. All shots hand held and just normal post processing. The camera settings are just coincidental, as they were shot on different days at different locations.

Given the right conditions it can perform, but the 1.4x performs regardless of the conditions.![Smile](https://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
