Thanks. I have the both the 2X and 1.4X extenders and the IQ is most agreeable. I use it with my 70-200mm GM and my 200-600mm G lens for my A9 and A7RIV. BTW I am a professional of over 45 years in the business. Pros do use these teleconverters too.

@Sam Ib Sony teleconverters only work on 600mm F4 GM, 400mm F2.8 GM, 70-200mm F2.8 GM, 100-400mm GM, and 200-600 G. White converter color goes on white lenses except 70-200 F4 G.

Now I have to ask, even though it is a tad ridiculous. What is the image quality on the A7RIV like with the 200-600 when you both use super 35 crop AND the 2x teleconverter?

good job buddy! but I think next time make close-up (of a bird or with something that has fine details) photos with both converters. Only those kinds of shots would allow you to see the difference, not the shots of the landscapes. ;)

I understand. But it’s hard to take exact same photos of animals twice. But I guess something with fine details will work next time. Thanks for the advice!
@fabiandoestravel Жыл бұрын
Great video! Informative . I have a qns… Does the tc improves the bokeh and compression of the image? Or simply a crop into the original focal length. Keen to know that before I put my money into these. 🙂
@BernardLau1991 Жыл бұрын
I didn’t really analyze to that level but if I’m not wrong, it doesn’t just crop in. I think it actually makes it 140-400mm. The compression does look different. As for bokeh, because it’s from 2.8 to 5.6, but from 200mm to 400mm I think it “even things out”

Bernard, do you think this 2x teleconverter would be good for shooting the moon in detail if you use the 100-400 GM lens with a Sony A1?

Fun Fuck: As long as you won't print your image as large as an A4 paper, image degradation don't exist. The only way you see degradation is when you zoom in or print the image as large as your house's roof. In summary, if your image is only for social media everything is fine, anyway as soon as you upload an image its automatically degraded by 70% lol!

If you’re using the f2.8, I think it’s still acceptable. Unless you’re shooting with the 100-400 or the 200-600, then I would not recommend it. And having the a7siii really helps hahaha

Hey 👋 thanks! Anyways, at f5.6, I think it’s good enough for low light. But the af for sports might not be as reliable. I would say it would still perform decently but you’re probably better off with the 100-400 😁

hi. In my experience, using that combination will give you decent results but don't expect it to perform like the 100-400. There will be a slight drop in performance but I think the versatility and cost savings is worth it. You want to shoot wildlife?
