You also need to multiply 1.6 for the crop factor. So 200 x 1.4 x 1.6 = ~448mm equivalence.

I’m so glad I stumbled across your video. I also have the 80D and just got the canon 100-400mm II lens. I was looking into the canon 1.4x III extender. B and H videos where I buy my gear from told me that they are not compatible. I keep seeing mixed reviews about it. But you pretty much set that straight for me.

Great video Grant i already have the 80D but want more reach so one of these lenses will be my next purchase i think.

Congrats. Your videos are clear and to the point. Continue the goid work.

Very informative Grant. Like you, I wouldn't want to try using the extender with the 70-300L IS lens - the risk is too great that I would damage it. I have never tried it, but I suppose that if someone really wanted to try that option they could put an extension tube (of sufficient depth to allow clearance of the two glass elements) in between the camera body and the lens. They would loose a stop of light of course but in a push it may be an option.

thanks Grant, this is very a very helpful vedio. i was planing to buy a canon 70-200L f4 with 1.4x to use with my 80D. do you have any idea about this combination.? as well, is there any real world differant of auto fourcsing speed of 70-200L f 2.8 in this combination? I love canon 70-300 L F4-5.6 also. but most of rewiver say that it is not shaper as 70-200 f4 in portial. what you think abut the sharpness of 70-300L in normal use (with out 1.4x)

Thank you ver much for a professional and comprehensive video. I have a 5 D Mk iv. Am thinking about a 1.4 x extender and the new 100 to 400mm is Mk ii. What would be the maximum aperture when fully zoomed out?

Hi, Great video. I have one question. In my mind I have Idea of what the answer is. However I would like to hear your opinion as of the Canon EF-2.0 extender. I would also like to know how compares the to the ef 1.4 extender. please note I am asking about performance and their auto focusing ability and not the I-mag aspect.

Interesting review. In your experience, how the 80d compares with respect to the 1d mark IV, when the combination extender 1.4x III and 100-400 II is used, in terms of af performance? From what I noticed the 1d mark IV slows down considerably, when the lens is strongly out of focus (even if the light is good), at 400mm (560 mm equivalent). Do you think that the 80d is better?

Also the aperture value being a crop sensor is not an f/2.8, but it becomes an f/4.48 to start with.. plus adding the extender, the aperture reduces even more. However if there's enough light, it's still a good option rather than spending much more for a longer and brighter lens. Good video, thanks for showing & sharing!

Great video thanks....but....those of us with limits to our expenditure on long lenses sometimes have to make do with the EF-S 55-250mm Canon lens, which Canon says, when fitted to the Canon 80D gives an equivalent 88-400mm zoom capability.

Really Enjoyed your videos Grant I’ve watched every one of them . My current set up is an 80D with a 100-400mm Mk11 Lens and a 1.4 Mk111 Extender which I’m very pleased with . Now Thinking I would like to buy the 500mm F4 Lens as I like to take photos of small birds but struggle to get close enough with my current set up . My Question is how big is the difference in image quality etc between the 500mm Mk1 and the 500mm Mk11 as I’m thinking Second Hand is a much cheaper option .

What are your thoughts about the new 90D. Are you going to make similar videos about 90D as well.

Hey Grant, I just recently bumped into your channel and am enjoying your really helpful content. I own an 80D myself and for my photography starting point I got myself a little range of lenses to cover everything from wide angle to telephoto. Currently I'm getting more and more into wildlife using the Tamron 70-300 vc usd. I like the lens for its great value for money as the images are decently sharp as a whole. But diving into wildlife I came across the need to crop more often and this is where the Tamron falls short very quickly (not that surprising at its price point). In order to grade up my gear, and seeing in your video that the 80D can handle autofocusing with an extender pretty well, I am considering a 70-200 2.8 + 1.4x extender to replace the Tamron. However, as money is always an issue I wanted to ask your opinion on the 3 choices I think I have (open for other suggestions): Canon 70-200 2.8 is mk i + canon 1.4x mk 3 (older lens, but good enough value for money?) Canon 70-200 2.8 is mk ii + " (quite the money to spend, but probably best quality?) Tamron 70-200 2.8 g2 + Tamron sp 1.4x (new lens with awesome quality at lower prize point, but how does it handle the extender and does the 80D still use all 45AF points with this combination? Also loss in autofocusing speed?) Thanks in advance, Tom LE: Would you recommend using a monopod for steadier images?

Great video

Great videos. Have been greatly enlightened by them. Thankyou for doing them. I just wanted to ask if you can only use extenders on L-series lenses. I have an 80d with a Tamron 70-300 lens.

Hi Marc, glad the video was helpful. So the 2x extender would really only be used on your EF 300 f4 I am guessing. I have not used that lens with a 2x extender in recent years nor on a modern Canon dslr body in recent years. So I don't have direct experience to draw from. I believe it would be effective if you where using your 80D in Live View to focus, and when using Live View on telephotos i get my better results with the camera on a tripod or on a very stable platform or support. I would expect that the image quality would be reasonable but not excellent. I would also only expect it to focus accurately and positively in bright or medium bright ambient light. I would not expect it would be a very good combination if the birds where moving around quickly and if you had lots of obstacles like vegetation etc making autofocus challenging. But if you where working in stable conditions and wished for documentation shots it could work. I would try to rent or borrow a 2x extender first if I could..

Are you concerned with "perceived megapixels" concept I've seen at dxomark in their lens tests?

@grantatkinson8108

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Drake, I am loosely familiar with DXO Mark but not the "Perceived Megapixels" measurement. In my own choice of cameras and lenses for the kind of photography that I do, I choose both the lens (with particular regard to light gathering capability - max aperture) and the camera as two parts of a system. If I am going to be photographing subjects that I expect will be active very early in the morning when ambient light is low, then I will try to choose a lens with the biggest aperture (for example I would pick the EF 400 f4 DO IS ii over the EF 100-400 f5.6 IS ii) and I would also choose a body with a full frame sensor for the better performance in that low light. If I expected to be photographing at midday, then ambient light would be bright, I would be happy with the 100-400 f5.6 IS ii. For fast action shooting, I find I get my best results when using cameras with large pixels, like the Canon 1DX Mark 2, 1DX and 5D Mark 3. I find I get better sharpness in my action images when I use these cameras with less pixels but larger ones. For slower moving subjects I am happy to use cameras with more megapixels or small megapixels like the 80D, 7D Mark 2 and 5DSR. I am not sure if this answers your question at all or adds to it :-)

Hi Mark glad the videos where useful. I don't own the EF 400L f5.6 and cannot easily get hold of one, but according to Canon literature on the 80D that lens ought to be able to use viewfinder focusing when used with the latest 1.4X EF Extender with the limitation that only the centre AF point will be available. If you use Live View it might work differently but I don't know. As far as using the 80D with the EF 400 L f5.6 and extender, I should mention that I have not done that myself. My experience with using 1.4x extenders on Canon 400mm lenses is limited to the EF 100-400L f4.5-5.6 IS ii and with that combination, I was able to obtain reasonably good static images of subjects in bright light. I struggled with things that where moving fast with the focus being less accurate and slower than I was used to. Perhaps I could have done better if i perservered....

It's WAY slower than without the extender. If you ever miss focus and it focuses all the way in, then back out, your subject will be gone if he's moving quick. Doesn't work for birds in flight IMO but is great for semi stationary subjects.

Hi Grant, I really appreciate you hard work and your dedication to share your knowledge. I now own a canon 80d and I am looking into a good telephoto lens, potentially to make some income from my images in the near future (wildlife, landscapes, some portraits; all while traveling). I would highly appreciate your advice in what combination you think would suit better my needs, with a budget of 2000ish dollars. My thoughts: - canon 100-400mm Mark ii, with or without 1.4 extender - canon 70-200mm 2.8 version ii with 1.4 extender (I was considering this option due to my interest in portraits, however I feel for wildlife it would be not enough reach. I can always get another option for portraits, such as a prime. Portraits are not paramount at the moment as I am in New Zealand and want to explore the wildlife here). But still would like your opinion on this combination. - Sigma 150-600 C version (interesting price, not sure about its quality compared to the 100-400 and its size to travel and long hicks) - Tamron 150-600 G2 (same doubts as with the sigma) It looks like I have a preference towards canon's 100-400 but is its quality, versatility and value that much better than the Sigma and Tamron? Taking in account its shorter range. I hope all what I ask makes sense and is not too overwhelming. But I would really appreciate your opinion. Kind regards and keep on the good work 😊

I don't know if you went for it already but I'm very happy to have gotten a used 100-400 mk2. From what I've seen, the white Canon lenses are much easier to sell and hold their value better than Tamron /Sigma or Canon EFS lenses. At the end, if you don't damage or lose your lens, the total cost of the lens is only the delta between purchase and resale. The image quality is just as I had expected but the stabilization just blew me away. Good luck on the decision.

And you can keep using the 50-250 if you are able to get close enough ....

Gary, not wishing to tread on Grant's toes here, but thought I may be able to help out. I own and have used a 2x MkIII Extender with a 500mm F4 lens, on a 7D MKII. I got some great sharp shots of a sparrow sitting on the top of a hedge. - though it was taken it good light. The 2x Extender gave me a minimum working aperture of F8, and with the 7DII meant I only had single centre spot focusing, which on a relatively static subject wan't a problem as I used the focus and recompose technique. Had the bird been in flight, I think it would have been more a of a challenge for the camera to acquire and lock focus with. I have had no problems using a 1.4 MKIII Extender for birds in flight shots using this combination. For me the 2x MKIII isn't as practical as a 1.4xMkIII but it's a useful addition to have in my kit. Given the choice between buying one or the other, the 1.4 would win. Hope this helps! Dave

I did find it to slow down the autofocus a bit but it did still work okay. For very challenging AF situations i found the 2 X converter could make it a bit harder to get focused properly, and it could sometimes 'hunt' back and forth a bit. But a fair number of people use that combination effectively.

Have a Canon 7D Mark II with 400mm F5.6 and the new Canon 1.4x iii extender. Have mixed feelings. The above combination limits the AF at f8 to the single center AF point. That's not much of an issue when shooting wildlife in a busy background, since I normally shoot with the single center AF in such settings. Shooting handheld with the above combination has to large of a percentage of blurry shots. Using a monopod really helps. The thing is, the field of view at f8, for 400mm x 1.6 crop x 1.4 extender = 896mm seems to be to narrow, so I'm forced to shoot at f10-f11 to get clearer shots. Given the loss of the great 64 point AF to a single AF point, loss of handheld shots, and f10-f11 apertures and the associated high ISO setting, I use the above combination on a very limited basis. Unfortunately it's seems like it's better to crop than use the above combination. Your thoughts?

Hi Joseph, about the only advantage that the 80D user has over the 7Dmk2 user with the 1.4 x extender on any of the 400 f5.6 Canon lenses is more coverage of the AF frame. Having image stabilization on the newer lenses really, really helps with handholding such long focal lengths and small pixel sensor cameras. For myself, I only use the 1.4x on the EF 100-400L IS ii when the light is good and subjects are well defined and not moving about too much. I agree with you that the image quality suffers somewhat in more difficult conditions. If it is at all possible, I prefer to work without the extender and try get closer, though i do realize this is not always feasible...

One other observation. It seems that when I use the 1.4x extender, I'm unable to crop in post processing, as far as I can when not using it, until the image quickly begins to brake down. For example in Photoshop, an image taken without the 1.4x extender starts off at 30% crop, and I can easily crop at 50, 60, and 100% before the image starts to degrade. An image taken with the 1.4x extender, starts off at 50% crop, 60% crop is fine, but 100% crop is in most cases unusable. It's like there's less ability to enlarge the image before it breaks down and becomes grainy. Your thoughts?

@grantatkinson8108

7 жыл бұрын

My thoughts would be that in order to get images that are really sharp enough to hold up to that level of cropping that you mention, that you might do best to be keeping the 400mm, non-stabilized lens as stable as possible, and also making sure to use faster shutter speeds if possible, to stop any camera/lens motion and/or subject motion. I am not sure if your shooting scenario allows for you to use a tripod or a beanbag but i would recommend it when shooting at 400mm plus 1.4x extender focal length, and a camera with small pixels like the 7dmk2. If you are able to rest or support the camera and keep it dead steady, try some shots with Live View focusing and that combination just to see if they are sharper than when you are focusing through the viewfinder, for comparison only...?

Hi Grant, Slightly different topic but would value your advice. I am about to buy a Canon 500mm F4 mark i and plan to get the 1.4 and 2 Mark III teleconverters. Can you advise do they both work well with the canon 500 F4 and is the image quality affected? I'm also hoping that the 500 has better image quality than my SIgma 160-600 sport. Your advice is much appreciated. Regards David

Hi Melrose Vision Mission, yes, both those converters will work well with the EF 500L f4 Mark I (confirm you are talking about the version One IS image stabilized lens). They both take away some sharpness, and degrade overall quality, for the 1.4 converter its only a very little, for the 2x its a bit more noticeable. However, as that lens starts out with fantastic image quality most of the time the images are still good enough for most requirements. The 1.4 x converter will slightly slow down the AF when photographing moving things, and with the 2x converter the AF will slow down quite a bit, and may sometimes be prone to hunting. For sure the bare 500 f4 and perhaps also with the 1.4 converter should have image quality that is a bit better than the zoom lens you mentioned. With the 2x probably less better. With the Canon super telephoto lenses and extenders, the more high performance camera bodies can sometimes work better specially with focusing. Hope something there helps

@@grantatkinson8108 Grant thanks again and sorry for being a pest and asking too many questions. I also have the chance of getting the Canon 600 f4 IS Mrk i whats your thoughts on this lens. Would the 600 be better than the 500 or is it just too cumbersome? Regards David

Great video! Thanks for your explanation. If I may give a advice for future videos, I would be very happy if you could include some sample footage. I'm sure you have tons and tons of very nice example footage, so why not include some in your future videos? :-) Theory was nicely explained but only theory without examples can get heavy after some time... Just my personal opinion. Otherwise awesome video!

Will the 80d work with a Sigma150-600mm F5-6.3 + 1.4x Sigma Converter?

What about the combination with 55-250 canon & 80d ? What would be the focus points?

@grantatkinson8108

Not sure if you mean with the 55-250 lens alone, if so then all focus points would be available on an 80D. I don't think that the 1.4x Extender can attach to the EF 55-250 lens physically?

@@rakinzahir2333 I don't think any Canon extender will attach but I don't have a 55-250 with me so I cannot be sure. If I recall properly I believe that the rear element within the EF -S lens is too close to the rear mount? I do know that some users attach Kenko extenders to some Canon lenses but I have not done this myself nor would I recommend it if it may cause damage to the components...?

Hello Grant, I hope you are doing well and you would have the time to answer my question. Would you recommend a Canon 2X teleconverter with Canon 70-300 1:4-5.6 IS II USM on Canon 80D?

No, what he said in the video, plus that will put your aperture beyond 8 and u wont be able to focus except manually. 2x may work with 70-200 F/2.8, but that is just what 100-400 does better.

An extender should not be used with the 70-300mm L according to Canon.

Since the canon 80D is a crop sensor you also need to factor in a 1.6x crop. So your actual focal length is 448mm full frame equivalent. I’m a novice photographer and even I have this knowledge

100-400mm L IS mark 2 + 2x extender on 80D = overkill?

It can be overkill for sure, as that combination will require you to be very steady and careful with focusing

The monetary values you mention seem a bit unclear, but for sure the Nikon D500 is an excellent crop camera and the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 VR lens is also an incredible value as a wildlife lens.

For sure, I dont think there has been a time when one could get such good camera gear and lenses that are long enough in focal length, for what we pay now.. :-). The Tamron and Sigma 150-600mm lenses are really good performers when it comes to image quality, colour and sharpness!

Bad information. Don't do a video if you don't know...
