Nice shot with good gesture! You are very greedy to use iso800 & f11 with EF2X ;D

Thanks Daniel! :) I don't think I have a choice! :P :-[ :'(

My camera + lens combination doesn't work well with the 1.4x converter. In order to extend beyond 600mm, I have to add the 2x. And I have to stop down 1 stop to get consistently acceptable results. To obtain reasonable results with flight shots, I need at least 1/1000s. Then I am forced to use iso800 when the sun is not at its full strength! :( Envy you and kk you can get good results with your 1.4x, my 1.4x converter is now only useful for stacking. :'(

Nice shots from you as usual!! May I ask why the 2x will perform better than the 1.4x on your 600??

I'm not sure myself. ::) I only know that when I use my EF600+1.4x+1D2 combination, most of my images were not sharp. Some testings indicated that there are some back focusing. :( But focusing is dead on without converters; reasonably ok with the 2x.

kk, thanks for the heads up again! :)
It seems that my latest sharpening routine was a bit too conservative. I have boosted the level accordingly. Hope this is better. Below is my updated version:
