Radar Love was thier biggest hit, for me Don't Call Us We'll Call You was their best.

70-200mm w/1.4x extender, hand held at 448mm equivalent, 1/80 sec, certainly would be sharper if I did some tripodding. But I love the compression here. Karma's like 8 feet away, the fence like 40-50 feet back... The slight vignetting is added by me, it didn't come from the lens.

If you have a chance, take the Three Capes route out of Tillamook---some beautiful views and the Cape Meares Lighthouse. Then, if you have more time go on down to Yachats/Florence area. There's two lighthouses in Newport (Yaquina Head and Yaquina Bay) and another one at Heceta Head south of Yachats. Some pretty spectacular surf action in the Yachats area.

The house across the street, 200mm, f/11, 1/30, ISO 100, tripod



Same shot, added 1.4x for 280mm, nothing else changed (camera still zeroed in on same spot)



That's a significant gain in reach. No PP on these except normal sharpening and resizing to 800 pixels. Overcast day today, so the light's not adding any sharpness unfortunately.

interesting thread... I was just thinking today to order the 1.4x for my 70-200 f2.8.

Does anyone have some additional examples between having and not having the extender?

Your f/2.8 can handle the 2x extender just fine; that's what I'd go for if I had that lens... Gives you 640mm equivalent, at f/5.6 max aperture, drool...
