Join me as I take you through all the pros and cons of using extenders to gain more focal length. I'll show you tips, examples, and lots of photos comparing with and without teleconverters.
Extra Tip: the 2x is waaaaay more difficult to use than the 1.4x. Don’t even think about getting a 2x until you’ve mastered the 1.4x!

This really is good information and clearly presented. Beyond that, I personally think too many photographers become obsessed with examining subtle differences as shown in some of your comparison photos, rather than the overall image and what it conveys (or should). Non-photographers rarely get caught up in this as they are content appreciating the image or story captured. This is not to suggest we shouldn’t be aware of the tips you provide and trying to capture the sharpest images possible, but rather keeping all photographic elements in perspective. And, I think my comment relates more to amateurs and even serious enthusiasts rather than dedicated pros who are at or near the top of their game.

Simon, although your videos make my brain explode with all the incredible information you provide, I still love how you get into the whys and why nots. The trade offs between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are perhaps the most difficult for me to master. When you lose (or gain) stops depending on what accessory you have (filter, lens, teleconverter, etc), knowing which setting to adjust to try for the same exposure is an adventure for me. 😁

Glad I went back and watched this. I've seen people get wonderful results handholding the Canon RF 100-500 with a 1.4x teleconverter, but mine have been consistently fairly poor unless I have the subject quite large in the frame. I think it comes down to poor technique, hoping a monopod may provide better stability while not inhibiting mobility too badly.
@mwwhited Жыл бұрын
My favorite shooting is live macro such as bees on flowers. Shooting my 2x teleconverter on my 70-200mm f2.8 with an addition 24mm extension tube gives me a 400mm macro with about 18inches (460mm) working distance. The tubes and teleconverters give a wide range from 70 to 400mm and pretty light hiking... but like you said I need good light. It’s pretty good for airshows and car races and works well for flat water kayaking but it leaves much to be desired in the woods and on cloudy days.

I have the Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 pro, and the corresponding Oly 2x teleconvertor. This pairing works quite well, as long as you have sufficient light. Losing the light gathering ability of the 40-150 is the drawback, but in some situations it's worth it. The lens is so sharp it doesn't negatively impact it. It's slightly softer than a shot without the TC, but not nearly as noticeable as digitally zooming in post would be. I still find myself using the 12-100 f/4 pro more than my other lenses combined. It's just versatile enough to be convenient in most situations.

Thank you for the video. Viewers might not have a clear idea what the teleconverters are all about watching this video. I use both Canon EF 1.4x and 2x TCs both version III on my EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM. Mount this combo on my 5D Mark III or 1D Mark IV for my wildlife shots and never encounter the issues mentioned in this video. Good enough for a hobbyist like me. I use this rig in all situations, good light and low light sometimes on tripod/monopod and sometimes handheld as well. Even at night I shot owls with the 5DIII + EF 300mm 2.8 + 1.4x by lighting up the subject with a good flashlight. Yes, there is noise however, the image is presentable not as an exhibition piece but as a descriptive evidence. Therefore, my suggestion to photographers like me is; use 2x teleconverters with the fastest telephoto lenses like the EF 300mm 2.8L or EF 400mm 2.8L. Thanks again.

All the information Simon has given here is spot on. I have had the Canon 500mm F4 for 15 years and usually use it with a 1.4x extender and the last few years a 2x also (not both together!). The 2x definitely slows down the autofocus but I have just bought a Canon R6 mark ii and there is a considerable improvement in focusing with the eye detection on. The only advice I would add to this video is that the mark 111 versions of Canon extenders are better than the earlier ones. I very rarely use the image stabiliser but get some good results.
@GOTOHOBBIES 9 ай бұрын
I would love to own the canon 500mm f4 lens, but its cost is outside my pocket. What I do use is a 70-200mm f2.8 iii and the 1.4 iii. Its amazing for aviation photography as the image quality is pin sharp every time my keep rate 95%. I am looking at the canon 100-400mm f4 is usm ii, or the 300mm f4 is usm with the 1.4 extender on either. There is a couple of points I need to consider the 300mm doesn't have weather proofing so the 1.4 will help keep it clean if I keep it on, my next point is I would use it on my 60D to give me 600mm in theory and at f5.6 which is good for 600mm combination for me doing aviation photography. I am interested in getting my images pin sharp every time, with bird photography you are working probably upto 400-500m max for aviation photography I'm working around 400m-2km distance I understand I'm asking a lot from my lenses but canon are the best in the market in my eyes. I also own a sigma 150-600mm contemporary I am not going to keep it as it just cannot match the image quality of canon or the auto-focus speed, but the canon lenses are in a world of their own when it comes to locking on and quality.

Best teleconverter video that I have seen. On the FoV issue, even when your subject will fit in frame, it is much easier to keep a fast moving/unpredictable subject in frame and centered without the teleconverter. For birds in flight, I tend to leave my 2x off, as it is better to crop a smaller image that has the bird fully in frame than to go with a shot that has a wing tip out of frame. For pros, keeping your subject centered may not be difficult, but for an occasional wildlife shooter the ability to see and capture more area through the viewfinder is a huge plus. Also, where you will be cropping even with the 2x image, it can still result in a better image without the 2x if the straight shot is close to center, while you 2x shot is in a corner of the image.
