Hi.
I am not a pro shooter. I have a Canon 5D Mark 2, which I mainly use for landscape photos, but I have started to capture wildlife & flora. I have a range of L series lenses in the wide to standard focal length range. I am considering buying the 70-200 F4 IS USM lens. Notwithstanding IQ, I really don't want the extra weight that comes with the 70-200 F2.8 lens given I have to walk to some locations, and I am not into weddings & high-quality/pro portraits.
i am considering adding an extender to the above zoom lens. I have read (almost universally) that a 2x extender will give me all kinds of challenges (-2 f stops, auto focus issues), so I am starting to settle on the 1.4x TC. There seems to be a 1.4 II TC, and a 1.4 III TC. In looking at Canon's official blurb (which may not be up to date for the series II TC), neither of these TCs are specifically compatible with the IS version of the 70-200 F4 lens.
Can anyone give me some specific advice on using either the 1.4II or 1.4III TC with the 70-200 F4 IS lens on a 5D II body?
Also happy to take general advice on any other choices I am making here.
Thanks in advance. /R.
