After an 8 hour drive, and 8 hours watching the golf, I've just has a very quick glance....and the 2x Extender seems to look ok to me......definitely gonna invest in one :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/94738377@N06/14054280250/

I've just rented an extender from 'The Flash Centre' for £11.00 + VAT per day. I'm gonna give it a go Tuesday at the BMW PGA Golf practice day at Wentworth....I'm hoping for some decent shots :D

I'm looking at the converter for mainly sports photography....I'm happy with my images, but find problems with sharpness when the action gets too far away, as the AF can be hit and miss at f2.8 when shooting in dark conditions.....raising the ISO with f2.8 is not too big a problem as the image...

Really appreciate the offer George, and if i was near enough I'd definitely take you up on it :) Fantastic shot ! ...and once again I'm overwhelmed at the level of expertise and help from all...... :ty:

Thank you all for your replies. Looks like it will do what I require. The dilemma is do I spend £310 on a second hand extender, or £1,000 on a lens ? Decisions.....once again Thanks :) :ty:

Hi, I currently use the Canon 70-200mm L Series II lens, with Canon 5dMk III, but find it's not quite long enough for sports photography. Will the 2x extender give me as sharp pics at 400mm end, as the 100-400mm lens ? Cheers guys

:thumbs: Cheers Bud

....looks like I don't yet know how to upload photos....Sorry guys :-)

I've taken some shots today with my 50D, and I've attached two. I'm wanting better results. I've taken on board the comments, and having just got the Sigma lens for £900, I'm not keen on spending another £1,000 on a better lens, so will the 5D Mk III give me better results, with my lens, or...

I have a Sigma f2.8 70-200mm for Sports photography & wildlife. I have a Canon f1.4 50mm for indoor low light band photography. The only problem I seem to have with 50D is the graininess at high ISO, and maybe the focussing is not as fast as I'd like, even with AI Servo. I am new to...

I'm wanting to upgrade from my D50, and want to know what your opinions are. Should I upgrade to the 1-DX or will the 5D Mk III be good enough ? In other words, other than price, what will the 1-DX give me that would be worth the price difference compared to the 5d Mk III. I am aiming...
