Now it has a total reach of 1600mm! Yes! However, you will lose two stops of light, making you minimum aperture two stops lower, meaning more high ISOs, and more camera shake. However, in good light, it should help more than hurt. 4 hours ago, neilpa said: Dang! Do you have an 800mm lens or is that with a crop body effective range? Nope. 400mm lens with a 2x is 800mm, but his camera is a micro four thirds camera, so that also doubles the length of the lens, making 800 to 1600. The only downside to MFT cameras is that they have reduced image quality and more noise. But, @Aidan Bs seems to be great.( it may depend on the lighting. ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the lighting makes a HUGE difference with my image quality. Luckily, here in Sacramento my biggest issue is usually too much light, as it is very sunny almost every day! The heat shimmer has ruined so many of my photos over the past few months. Also, my camera has great vibration reduction, so I haven't had much of an issue.

Not so much of that now because of school though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
