Stacked Converters (1 Viewer)

What I'm trying to say is that as the camera is set to f8 that's what the aperture blades would close to at the moment you take the shot which means that you'd have stopped down to the same amount of light that is supposed to be hitting the sensor with the two TC's on so it balances out, no f11. With you using the 2 2x's then you'd have to select f11 for it to balance out even though you'd still be able to selct larger apertures but they'd give false exposures. Does that sound like it makes any sense?

Anyhoow. I think the short and sweet of it is from all of us for the OP is that yes you can use stacked TC's and with some excellent results.

Is there a particular order that a 1.4 and 2x should be stacked or does it not matter? I didn't seem to get this from the thread so far.

Many Thanks
