Description
Unfortunately I don't have 10 - 15000.00 it would take to buy a 800mm lens so I thought I'd do a little experiment. I took my Canon EOS 7D, attached my EF 400mmf5.6L and a 2x teleconverter to it. Since the 7D has a 1.6 sensor, that combination converts to awhopping 1280 mm. I really didn't believe I could get a useable shot with it. Felt it would come out way too soft for my standards. I was pleasantly surprised and may use the combination when I can't get close, but really need the shot. Sorry it's not as sharp as usual. Now you know why. :)

Fabulous shot and fantastic picture !!!
Wow. Grea capture and very nice shot.
back when I had my 50-500mm I used a 2x and a1.5x together on a 7D/50D. seeing your clarity you must have a very steady hand/arm or used a tripod. I used the combination for moon shots on an expensive(used) Manfrotto tripod/head and even there it was difficult to stay aligned with the moon I am impressed
I would love to just get a 400mm myself... Shot came out great. Aloha
Terrific! You could get a great shot with a pinhole camera with your skills!
I agree with sharky, cool photo work.
Superb result...
More than satisfying my friend. Focus is sharp enough. Superb capture my friend.
There is no guarantee you would do better with the high priced lens. My friend sent back a Canon 300 mm f 2.8 lens and, after many weeks, they said they could find nothing wrong with it but "it is a bit soft" as they put it. Well, he paid $7,200 plus converters and it is not as good as my Nikon 70-300 mm which cost $800. Again, my question about Canon using Canada as the outlet for 'factory seconds' comes to the fore.
This is a fantastic shot under the circumstances and it zooms well too.
Wow, but a darn good shot! I lust for one of those long-range lenses myself, but also can't afford that kind of money. 300 mm is my longest reach, and it's just not enough...
For me it is an excellent result. Well done.
fantastic photo, like it!
