I have a serious question for you.
I’m a 30+ year amateur photographer. My wife and I are planning a typical NCL Alaskan cruise with land excursions. I love photographing wildlife (in this case, think bears instead of the usual gators and birds). I’m thinking of buying a Canon Extender to go with my 7D MKII and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens. I don’t know whether to purchase the Canon Extender EF 2x or the 1.4x. I’ve read the 1.4x produces slightly sharper photos, but, then, will I miss that .6 magnification? Given the APS-C sensor, I won’t be printing anything too large, although we usually just view the photos on the computer these days. Both Extenders sell for the same price (new). Any suggestions / input as which I should purchase (other than used or renting)?
I would sincerely appreciate any honest input / feedback. Thank you for your consideration!
