I have been reading reviews and posts about the Canon Mk III 1.4x and 2x extenders. As a new DSLR user, I think I understand the basic advantages and disadvantages of these bits of kit. If I bought one, it would be mainly for wildlife shots. Which would be the better buy if I was only going for one of them? Thanks in advance for any advice forum members can give me.

Re: Canon extenders
I personally don't have either but from the people that I know who do have the extenders they all advise the 1.4, you only loose one f stop and a not so much IQ. The 1.4 is used by a lot of people on this forum.
Do check that they will fit your lens and also consider that on a slower lens you may also loose auto-focus depending on your camera.

Re: Canon extenders
The 1.4TC is an excellent addition to your lens line up, while the 2.0TC (mkiii) has good IQ the focus & focus tracking takes a hit
I did a review of the 2.0TC here:-
Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga
Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman
