  Been to wet today to test it out but been playing with the setting and updated the Firmware, and I found out it will focus with my 100x400mmMk2 with the X2 converter at f/11 and it look good so got a lot of testing and setting to do :) so I now have an 800mm focal distance that might come in handy :)

  I managed to get out yesterday and had good weather and glad I came home around 2:30pm the heavens opened up on the way home, just need to tweak a little more till I am happy with the outcome of the pictures.

  This was taken with the R6 and EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM +1.4x attached I would say its about 83% or a little more of a crop 4000 ISO so not bad.

  Excellent stuff Jim, the AF is obviously snappy, even with the extender on the lens. All we need now is a bit more decent weather!

  Its not bad WJ, just been reading the manual some interesting things it can do, will see what its like with the X2 on but will have to wait till the light gets a little better then it is now.
