I posted an example in this thread about the 70-200 2.8L Mark 2 IS with a 1.4x and have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the result even when doing some very heavy cropping (I only kept about 20% of that pic!). I took some advice and changed to using the 1.4x from the 2x and I think that's helped with focusing more quickly.
However, I do often wonder whether the 300mm F4L + 1.4x would do a better job due to the longer reach so less cropping. I just don't know how they would compare.
I know I would lose some speed and also the 70-200 2.8 IS II is highly acclaimed for it's IQ - and it's 300mm equivalent is £5k so out of my price range. So it feels like a bit of a downgrade if anything.
So would the 300mm F4 be better for these type of shots? Any advice appreciated.
