I was finally able to make it to the track. I live about an hour southeast of Lime Rock Park and an old family friend was there one day racing with the Vintage series. I took a lot of shots with the 1DII/70-200 II, and here are some of the better pictures.
Taken with the 2x Extender:
Again I am really impressed with the quality of the shots while using the Extender in good light, but the shots without it are far better. This lens has seriously upgraded my track/sports picture quality and the family friend who I shot that day was very impressed with the output. He is a Canon guy as well, and he let me try out his 28-300 L that day and I loved that lens. So versatile! It was really nice to be hitting deep track pics and then pan back to grab action in the nearfield without changing lenses.
Holy crap those are some nice shots.
Hmm very impressive result with the 500D - I might have to get one of them myself if this lens is capable of getting that much magnification! Out of interest was this a full shot or a crop of a larger shot?
Also I'm impressed with your 2*TC results, I'm starting to work with this setup myself recently and the M2 of this lens certainly performs far and away better than the original with this TC. Image quality certainly takes a hit, as does focusing speed, but both remain quite usable!
though I still think the lenses current market price is a little bit high in comparison to the old.
