Have you tried it with the 1.4x and 2.0x TC-IIIs? That's where my adapter got funky and slow.

This was with the 300 2.8 +2.0x. Not as snappy as with native glass, but certainly on par with my older Canons (not to mention no micro focus issues). I have used the 1.4 on the 500, but when you get the adapter plus lens plus tc its gets too unwieldy handheld for me as it gets too long. It would work great on a gimbal setup.

I was using my Metabones with the 500/f4 and it got really slow and unreliable with the 1.4x and close to unuseable with the 2.0x. That's old data, since I sold my big Canon two or three months ago and Metabones has probably updated their firmware since I last tried.

The Sony 400/f2.8 is incredible with either teleconverter, but it starts with a big aperture AND Sony updated the body firmware to maximize effectiveness of that lens.

Seems to be my year for bobcat sightings. Made a diptych to show the range of the RX10IV. From almost fully zoomed out to fully zoomed. Shots taken within a couple of seconds of each other.

That's some impressive clarity and detail at the full zoom level.

Yes, I continue to be very impressed with the Ziess glass on this camera. This is a pretty hefty crop from the same spot.

I didn't really get the X-T3 to shoot wildlife, but it has been a nice surprise in that department.
