Canon Extender EF 2x or the 1.4x?
RussellCrowder replied to RussellCrowder's topic in Canon EOS Mount
Mark, thank you for the suggestion of renting. I thought of it, but didn't pursue it as the cost at a local shop would be half the purchase price considering the length of time we're gone - given that, I'd rather come away with something new in my camera bag. However, I just checked the national renters and they are much cheaper, so who knows. I also appreciate you took the time to compare the two tele-converters. I've wondered if it was more hype or actually true. Thank you! -

Gary, I know what you ,mean, I wish I had a longer lens, but being retired, I have to watch the $. So, I guess I'll get close to that bear. If you hear of a bear attack in Alaska next June . . . -

Thank you for the thought, paddler! -
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!
