does any one have/use this combination?
Can you lead me to some shots that you have with this combo? Is the loss of quality great? |

I'm buying the 300/2.8 next week and I own a 2X converter. To be honest I don't like the 2X on my 600/4. There doesn't seem to be a very noticable loss of sharpness with that combo but there is definatly a loss of contrast.

I'm saving my pennies for the 300L 2.8 and to use my 2x converter with it.
I have heard on other boards that it is great combo and saves big $ on the options for going long. |

I've used the 300 2.8 and the 400 2.8 with both teleconverters. The sharpness loss was minimum, but then again, it was with film.

thx folks, I am thinking of this combo to get some reach, but am hesitant if there is going to be quality loss, I dont have any interest in the 300mm as a 300 or even with the 1.4x since I have the 100-400mm
thx,
nsbca if you get them I would love to see some shots.
