Great, thank you so much, neuroanatomist!!
In those pictures you can clearly see the drop in the IQ of 24mm ts-e so I guess it's a no-go.
I ordered the kenko pro 1.4x teleconverter instead - I hope it won't be worse than canon mk iii!

Yes, that would be great! Also, if you can, add a frame pointed in the same direction without the 2x extender on the 24 II
Thank you so much

Yeah, Canon doesn't officialy say it will work together, but I read some threads saying that it does. Also, you can see

Intercontinental Exterior Shoot	Small | Large

for a video of a professional photographer using a TS-E 24mm II + 1.4x Extender Mk III combo. This seems to be working beautifully.
Im basically interested in opinions about the same use with 2x Extender and the actual image quality it provides.
So... please, anyone ?

Lenses / TS-E 24mm II + 2x Mk III Extender

« on: December 21, 2012, 05:01:08 PM »

Hi guys !
I am new to this forum, as well as the Canon system altogether. I recently bought a 5D Mark II.
I am planning to buy the TS-E 24mm II lens, since it's considered to be one of the best among Canon lens and I am very excited to have the tilt/shift/rotating ability.
I will do mostly architectural work, but in my case it often means also using longer focal lenghts (for some detail and creative perspective of the geometry of buildings). On my APS-C camera (Pentax) I like to use 40-55mm. That means I should get closer to 60mm on a FF lens (1.5x crop factor).
I was thinking about buying the lens and a Canon TC 2x Extender, giving me 48mm equivalent which becomes more useful than 1.4x=35mm. I've read forums through and through and the consensus seems to be that with this lens "1.4x gives very good results and 2x is worse". But I struggle to find any real world pictures of that combo (only a chart http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=486&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=4&API=2&LensComp=486&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=1 )
Bottom line:
Can anyone give feedback and example pics on TS-E 24mm II + 2x Mk III Extender ?
Thank you guys!
