I often use the 1.4x extender, but have never been a fan of the 2x. In fairness, I have generally used it in desperation and generally in poor light, so perhaps I never gave it a fair chance.
However, today I was going for Kingfishers and the li'll devils stayed the opposite side of the River Stour and even with my biggest lens and a 1.4x, it was going to be too big a crop to get a reasonable shot. So on with the 2x and that also meant manual focussing, but needs must.
I was very pleasantly surprised to get some rather good shots and this one even has a bit of a crop added.
