    So i was thinking that for a cheaper way in to wildlife photography that i could get a 70-200 f2.8 on my 70D and then with a tele converter added on as well. What would you think about that? I cannot afford a proper lens for the job, so this would be my workaround. I am not a professional or anything, it is all just for personal enjoyment, so i understand quality would not be the highest. But i wouldn't need it to be. Love your videos by the way.

    A good TC, that has decent glass and maintains your lens properties, will set you back by about the same price as a mid-range zoom lens. Best way to go about it is to save that money for a lens with your desired focal length and decent optics. I learned the hard way, though I didn't spend a considerable amount on that vintage Vivitar 2x TC, that I got on eBay for €15. Nikon's in-house TC is about €600.

    Yeah this was not staged *at all*. Anyway, one thing I was wondering about, having a 60-250/4 and 1.4x TC myself: I know AF might be slower with the TC, but I can imagine that one upside of using a TC versus cropping is that the AF sees a larger subject. So can it be easier for the AF to lock onto the subject, even if it may take a bit more time to do so?

    I had a Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 lens and I got rid of it after testing it against my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 and a Nikon 2x teleconverter (the newest generation). It turns out the 70-200 with the teleconverter was sharper than the Sigma and gave me the same focal lengths and same aperture (at 400mm) but takes up a lot less room in my camera bag. If you pixel peep you can see imperfections, but I show people 20" x 30" prints taken with the teleconverter on my D800 and they cant tell a difference.

    With a smaller sensor camera, you basically end up with the same focal point as with the 1,7x teleconverter at what is basically the same resolution. What would you say is worse? The loss of detail from adding more glass to the equation or loss of detail from shooting with a smaller sensor? Especially as either option comes at essentially the same price point.

    @Platypus204811 жыл бұрын

    Good video! I think you're wrong when you say that TC doesn't change depth of field though... Please correct me if I'm wrong but, DOF is a result of the relative size of the aperture to the focal length, not the absolute size of the aperture. So when you change the focal length and keep the aperture size the ratio changes. The absolute size of the aperture at 200mm f/2.8 is ca. 71mm, DOF @ 10m = 35cm, the same absolute aperture with the 1.7TC, 340mm f/4.8. DOF on 340 f/5.6 = 23cm @ f/8 = 32cm.

    Yes, I think you are right @Platypus2048. The "f" in "f/2.8" means the focal length of the lens. When you add your teleconverter, you are effectively changing the focal length of the lens, thereby changing the "f" part of that "f/2.8" equation. I am not an expert on this, so anyone that is more expert on this please correct me if I am wrong, but based on what I know, the teleconverter should actually change the depth of field. It's all academic though, as at 300mm I find depth of field is pretty shallow anyway, even at f/5.6. The reason sports photographers use the small apertures is not so much to gain shallow depth of field, but rather to let in more light to gain high shutter speeds so that they can freeze the action. For wildlife, I have found that using f/5.6 on a closeup of a squirrel and the tail is already going out of focus. But apart from that, the video is very good. Thanks Matt. 👍

    9 жыл бұрын

    It depends how you're using them. If you're framing the same way, then yes. If you're shooting from the same distance, then no. This kind of compression that people talk about is the result of perspective distortion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_%28photography%29 Usually one would use teleconverters when one can't control the distance to the subject, so this is usually fixed for a given teleconverter scenario. I would then say that for the way most people use them there will not be a difference in compression.

    Sony has the jpeg-only (mpeg-only?) "Clear Image Zoom," I use CIZ on a FF Sony w/ the NEX e-mount SEL1855 APS-C lens & can get better-than-average results. However, I have to definitely turn the jpeg sharpening down to at least 0 or -1. Along w/ some of the NEX lenses' OSS & the in-camera IBIS, APS-C lenses can be exploited as useful "beater" lenses. Basically a good lens at low ISO can deliver a decent image using CIZ, better than crop. However, too soft a lens, or the ISO or jpeg sharpening turned up too high, & the results from CIZ degrade quickly.

    I use a 1.4x Canon Teleconverter Mk.iii on either my 70-200mm f/4L IS lens (280mm f/5.6) or on my 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens (140-560mm f/8). I can autofocus using my Canon 7D Mk.ii camera using the center focus spot at f/8. I take a slight hit in IQ and AF speed but, bottom line the images are generally acceptable. Additionally, it is certainly a lot easier to travel with my 70-200mm and a 1.4x TC than to bring a 300mm lens with my gear. I neither want to invest the money in a Super Zoom of 500 or 600mm or to carry the weight. Yes, I could use a Sigma zoom that maxes out at 600mm but, I really like my 100-400mm Mk.ii lens... The equivalent focal range of the 100-400mm lens on my 7D2 with the 1.4x TC is: 224-896mm WOW! When I began my career in photography during the 1950's, I thought that a 135mm lens was really long.
