Message: <blockquote data-quote="DanC.Licks" data-source="post: 3300067" data-attributes="member: 111263">Got the adapter today. First tests in pretty bad light this morning with the Canon 400/5.6. S-AF, IS-1 on, Focus Priority on. Impressions:1. I just went out and shot anything that moved. o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Took over 700 shots on one battery, and it still isn't empty. So it is NOT a juice hog as I had feared.2. AF works VERY WELL, not blazing fast, but it is very accurate. The 50-200 + EC-14 is still faster, but it is f4.9 vs f5.6, and that makes a big difference. It gets better as light improves as would be expected. Don't know about BiF yet. Need to try it in better light and when there is something flying around. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />3. The 1.4x Extender III does not work, which is a disappointment, but it could in the future. The Mark II version works, from what I have heard.All in all, I am so far quite pleased with how it performs.

More to follow as I spend more time with it.From this morning: All ISO 800, 1/50 to 1/125 at about f/9, hand held.[ATTACH]561962[/ATTACH]15 Meters away.[ATTACH]561963[/ATTACH]Through our double glass (dirty) window.[ATTACH]561965[/ATTACH]Focus on feet.</blockquote>
