    Canon MKIII convertors experiences please

    Additionally anyone used convertors on the Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM? A nice lens to have, but weight may also be an issue. Thanks for any input. I'm lucky to be in a position to upgrade my gear at the moment so I'm looking at views on these lenses and convertors specificall for wildlife...

    Canon MKIII convertors experiences please

    Thanks all, really useful comments. If its genuinely the case that I have nothing to gain between MKII and MKIII convertors when using on a Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS USM then I can save a few £ there so thanks. I've read that IQ is better around the corners and edges on MKIII 2x and new versions...

    Canon MKIII convertors experiences please

    I use Canon 90D and am looking to hear about direct experiences using the below lenses and converters. I'm wary of convertors but I hear the new MKIII have less issues with IQ and AF than previous models. Canon 500mm f4 MKI plus 1.4x mkiii seems to have a good rep for results. Any idea how...

    Canon G1 X

    Thanks Neil I'd love to be able to use the G1x but it looks unlikely. I have Swaro scope anyway. I am thinking of getting the 25-50 Swaro lens and i was hoping you could tell me if there is a similar camera, perhaps the G12 than i can use with this. Thanks

    Hampshire

    I guess you are talking about the Farlington/Langstone Harbour area? Is this a list of species you have seen there recently? Are you sure about the Merlin?

    Neil I appreciate anymore info you are willing to give regarding digiscoping with the G1X. Or if you have elaborated elsewhere please point me in the right direction. Thanks Rich

    Dslr bird video thread

    Just add to this i have done some test and the noise is related to the Rode mic. It doesn't matter how far away I move it from the 7d it is still present, just a dull background hiss that you don't get from the internal mic. I guess it is something normal that you guys are all used to and that i...
