Kerry B said:It is clear that this lens and extender combination does work exceptionally well. I have on many occasions thought of trading in my 300mm lens and buy the mkii 600mm lens and whilst this lens is sharp I cannot justify the price. I have also tried both the Tamron and Sigma 600mm telephoto zoom lenses only to be disappointed by the sharpness beyond 400mm.
This is a grey headed kingfisher taken in Kenya, camera used was a 5dmkiii. Cropped image.

Kerry B said:Thanks Alan, much appreciated this is a 50% crop. This bird did allow slow movement of our vehicle to make our approach. Wish all birds were the same. On another issue how do you find this combination with the 7d mmii?
Kerry B said:Thanks Click.
Alan I thought I had read on a previous post that you were unhappy with the performance on the 7dmkii. I like you are awaiting the arrival of the new canon 5d mk1v. I am off the the Pantanal in August and am wondering about camera bodies. I only have the 5d mkiii at present and am looking at another camera body to take. Given that the 5d mk1v is not likely to be on sale until I return from Brazil I am left with the 7d or 5ds, dilemma.
Not sure about crop any longer as have been spoiled by full frame.
