The Truth about Canon 2x extenders

The other thing is images look much sharper with the realistic 8x12 print than they do if you crack it open on the computer screen and zoom to 100%.

I don't know about you but I prefer looking at photos in their entirety, and don't understand the mentality of those who insist on pixel counting and zooming to 100% and then complaining about a bit of softness.

I completely agree, The print is the final product and the true test. I find it hard to objectively do comparisons on screen only, Its too easy to pick out flaws that will never bee seen in a print.

The quality of the lens makes a big difference...and as mentioned, Canon extenders only work with top quality Canon lenses anyway.

During the Alberta Meet-up, CyberSurfer, was using a 70-200 F2.8 L IS, on a 20D with a 1.4X and a 2X TC, stacked. The results were better than I thought they would be.

you can stack them? thought the rubber insertion thing-a-ma-jiggy wiould not allow it.
