Having just acquired a 1.7TC for my 300 F2.8 lens I found this fella to be a good subject to test out the new found 510mm reach!

Looking good. Extra reach is always a drooling experience.
 

Quite decent Mick: you got the duck well in frame, sharp and entertaining!
You're only missing better light/weather conditions.
 
they just look a little soft to me Mick, that can be improved in pp

Thank's yes some good light would be a bonus for sure :)

They seem ok to me but I not one for adding too much sharpness, is there any in particular one you think or just in general?

There is definitely a little loss of sharpness using the teleconverter though which I noticed straight away, but the added reach sort of balances out this?

The original shots can bee seen here if you want to see if they look soft still there?

looks very good to me. I am lucky and own the 1.4, 1.7 an 2.0 converters

Cheers Graeme, I thought I would try the middle of the road one first, but would also like the full set at some stage! I just wish the 1.4 wasn't so expensive?
