Shot my z9 + 180-400 tc (at 560) with extra 1.4 TC to get more reach closer to 800, and felt the results a little softer than they should be. In the field was nervous to trust it and went back to shooting at 560 and will possibly crop in post. New to using the additional tc.
Before I start a battery of tests, just curious if others use this combo and like the results?
(Hoping my tests will confirm the tc-14e III to get close to 800 is better than 560 plus cropping, but starting to wonder if the ftz + internal tc + external tc is just too much going on for best autofocus, etc. …. And know about increased heat distortion at the increased focal length, etc.)
Blown away by the z9/ftz / 180-400 tc by the way……..
