Last week we had a nice full moon. Rich and I were returning from a walk as we watched the moon start to climb in the sky. I thought the Moon would be a good subject for experimentation with various teleconverters. Here are the various combinations of lenses and TCs that I tried:
– 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II + 2x TC
– 500mm
– 500 + 1.4x TC
– 500 + 2.0x TC
– 500 + 1.4x TC + 2.0x TC
Of course, in the last two combinations, I had to use LiveView to focus, since my 7D doesn’t autofocus at less than f5.6.
I was impressed by the results…
Moon – 400mm
Moon – 500mm
Moon – 700mm
Moon – 1000mm
Moon – 1400mm
