To be fair to Andy he has put the bat down recently, hope he doesn’t mind me quoting this:- “I regularly used the Canon 2x teleconverter for a lot of my work. Now usually I hate the 2x converter but the version 3 is great and sharp….provided you shoot it at f11 or f16. Now usually shooting anything at this high aperture would mean a lot of annoying background in focus, but not with the 2x, there is nothing in focus!!! Shooting at such a high aperture ensures that the image given by the converter is sharp. I adopt the same policy for the 1.4x converter as well. shooting f8 with this one.”
