Canon FDn 200 / 2.8 plus Canon FD 2x-B tele-extender Essentially a 400mm / 5.6 lens (at the 2.8 setting) I bumped it up to the F4 setting to get an F8 actual for more DoF so close with the extender Red Bellied Woodpecker was at 30 feet...no time for a tripod, shot with arms braced on the kitchen window sill. Overall, I thought the result was fairly decent using an extender and no tripod. Smooth bokeh, good color, and pretty fair detail in feather tips, whiskers, etc View attachment 53832 View attachment 53833
A couple of green leaves at 50 feet resisting the fall time of year calling to change color and drop off. View attachment 53845 View attachment 53846
Couple more test shots using the 2x-B Extender. Biggest issue early this morning was very low shutter speed / no tripod. But the IQ capability with these zooms having an extender stuck in the middle is still evident.
