Good day all,
Wanted to quickly see if anyone has had results or experience with the combo above. I picked up the 6D Mark II last year during the Black Friday extravaganzas and have generally liked it (the Dynamic Range hasn't been an issue for my usual subjects, aviation). Up until now I have been using a 2010-bought EF 100-400MM as my primary telephoto.
Obviously, with the move to full frame, I have lost some effective focal length compared to my previous crop bodies. As such, I have been looking at the new Mark II of the 100-400mm plus the 1.4x Mark III, which would retain 27 AF points with the extender. This would obviously give me back some of that reach that I have lost in those scenarios where I find I am missing it.
Has anyone used this combination here? I am strongly suspecting that the AF coverage relative to the frame will be fairly poor, given the already poor coverage on the 6D II will all AF points active, however I wanted to make sure that this wasn't a known "lemon" of a pairing. I have been able to find precious little in terms of actual discussion of this pairing, just a lot of legacy chatter about the original 6D.
Cheers!
