Hi all,
I found out earlier to day that while my 100mm 2.8L works with my 2x Kenko TC, it isn’t unfortunately compatible with the Canon 1.4x II due to the element sticking out. Now while the Kenko is mainly used on my 7D with 70-200 2.8L II, I have thought of a couple ways to have the best of both worlds, both are reasonably priced.
Option 1, which is the main idea in theory. Buy the EF12 Extension Tube and connect that to separate the lens & TC.
Option 2 - buy a Kenko 1.4x converter and stack it with the Canon 1.4x to the 70-200. I know stacking is a possibility as I have already done it with the Kenko 2x & Canon 1.4x.
I can get a used Kenko 1.4x 300 Pro DGX for under £70 used or can get the EF12 for about £60.
The idea is so I can go to nature reserves with the lenses & teleconverters already attached to both bodies, one for birds & the other for macro.
Can anyone here advise ?
Many thanks
