it seems fine for static shots obvious first concern`s were would it perform as well as the Canon 1.4x convertor? From what i can see all looks good and now i need to test it more on flight shots!<br /> <br /> (Best viewed Large it really makes a difference)!<br /> <br /> <br /> To anyone who takes the time to type a comment on my photostream many thanks!<br /> <br /> Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM</p> Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:03:08 -0800 2011-12-12T13:40:59-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Paul Green Photography) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/6500616671 51.732532 -2.383535 51.732532 -2.383535 34994 Lapwing (Set) <p>The reason i decided to post this set was because i was pleased with the way my Kenko 1.4x teleplus convertor performed today in good light i cant see any noticeable image degragation so it seems fine for static shots obvious first concern`s were would it perform as well as the Canon 1.4x convertor?
