    1. Thanks, Kimi! It does a decent job but seems to have more trouble focusing the further away subjects are….but I guess that is true with most lenses. This was my second time out with the extender, using it just part of the day. On my previous day out, I used it all day, and those shots will be in my next blog posting. In some situations I think it has merit. On this last shoot I was able to shoot a wood duck with the extender on and with it off. So it will be interesting to compare the two for sharpness, etc.
