Lens Comparisons: 70-200, 100-400, 200-600 and Teleconverters

[GvilleRick]

Someone asked me if I had considered using a 70-200 GM OSS2 with 2x TC rather than the 100-400 GM. I realized after searching sports images that I had only used the 1.4x TC with my 70-200 so I decided to do some informal testing. All of these shots are handheld sitting in my backyard watching birds at the feeder (and in nearby trees.) I started yesterday with the 70-200 with the 2x TC and the 100-400. I also took some shots with the 100-400 + the 2x TC. Today I pulled out my 200-600 and took some shots at 400 and 600 with it. I also took shots adding the 1.4x TC at 600 and 840 and with the 2x TC at 600, 840ish, and 1200.
