In preparation for my upcoming adventure to Southern California and Arizona I purchased a 1.4X extender. With the vast desert landscapes there are certainly opportunities for interesting tele-smash photos including trains and the desolate hills in the background. To achieve some of that style of photography I thought I’d expand my reach a bit with the 1.4X extender. While an extender is a compromise it works well with many of Canon’s L lenses including the 70-200mm f/2.8 that I have. This morning I thought I’d try it out at my familiar stomping ground to see how it works in the real world.
All photos are at 280mm…because I could…

Since you shot at 280mm, does that mean your Canon body is a full frame digi?

My Canon body is a 1.6 crop factor 20D. 280mm was calculated as the lens measurement (200mm X 1.4). I’m taking donations for a 1Ds Mk III (full frame) body though…

I actually like the crop factor of digitals. An old friend used to say, “When in doubt, get the zoom out.”
