I'm heading to NYC soon and will be paying a visit to B&H.
I'm undecided whether to buy the 100-400mm lens for my 5D or should i buy the Canon 2x TC (I believe the TC is L quality) and hook it up with my 70-200mm f2.8 L.
I know the TC will slow my lens down but will it slow it to a point that's slower than the 100-400? The 100-400 has IS so that would compensate up to a point.
I can afford either (or even both if anyone thinks it's wise) but I don't want to spend the money on the lens to find out later I'd have had the same or better results by getting the TC and using my existing f2.8 lens.
I'd be grateful for opinions and input.
thanks
David
