Good morning!
I'd like some advice on teleconverters, please. I've recently bought a new lens, EF 70-300 IS USM II. Really happy with it so far. I did originally buy a 70-200 f4L but it lacked range and I thought I'd benefit more from an IS system. I took the 70-300 out at the weekend for some trial images of birds, for the most part really happy with the results. I would have loved a 100-400L but my sales pitch to the other half failed so it's the 70-300.
I noticed while I was out that a little more range would be useful so I'm not relying on cropping so much, could a teleconverter be a solution until I develop my stalking skills?
I know this lens isn't compatible with the canon teleconverters but I watched a youtube video of a reviewer that had used a Kenco TC with it. He didn't go into much details about results just that it did work.
So I guess what I'd like to know are the pros and cons, or if a TC is a complete waste of time and money could you offer me any other solutions?
Thanks, DaleJ
