Yes, Yellowhammer. The other is a Little Grebe. Nice birds. Here is one at 800mm from the RF 200-800mm on the R5.Never seen one untill today (if it is a Yellowhammer)

ISv: Non Canon as he says! But he has the same quality photos with Canon equipment too! Very consistent in what he is doing (well, I'm talking photos since I don't know him in the "normal
" live)!
And you have some hidden stuff thereThank You!

! Two more birds! Nice shots anyway!I'm so envious you've got many birds and still getting snow!
Hey, thanks, Eric! That might have been the last snow storm of the season (the Tahoe area got slammed!).
I read visitors to Yosemite National Park were asked to leave because of the prediction two meters of snow would fall. I have to admit I have never seen that much snow and if I knew I was prepared, I would want to stay, but I have no idea how you prepare for it
It’s a question of what in practice the 1.4x adds. It’s not 40% in terms of resolution, it’s no more than 10-20% on the 100-500mm. Extenders work best on wide f-number lens and their performance decreases on narrower lenses because of diffraction. The 1.4x on the 100-500 adds even less than dictated by diffraction.I read visitors to Yosemite National Park were asked to leave because of the prediction two meters of snow would fall.

I remember @AlanF doesn't prefer the 1.4, but yours photos look good.
Thanks as always for explaining. If I understand, in theory, an ef 500mm f/4 with the same rf 1.4 should yield better results (aside from the heavier burdens of finances and weight and... the dreaded adapter!)
That's correct. The EF 500 f/4 II works very well indeed with the EF 1.4xTCIII. I tried 3 different copies of the RF 1.4x with my lens and all three were equally disappointing. On the other hand, the 2x performed closer to the expected despite being at f/14. I think what with the RF 100-500mm zooming out to only the 300mm setting with the RF TCs, the designers of that lens and those of the RF TCs didn't coordinate.
