I tried out the 1.4x extender for the first time yesterday. I did not have great results as many shots were either missed or turned out to be soft (especially birds in flight shots).

Wish for a lower angle and maybe a bit more head alignment, but  I liked this one because I noticed it had the mom, dad and child in it. 

All comments, critiques and suggestions on using an extender are of course welcome.

Best,

Matt

Nice threesome image, Matt.
I wouldn't use the extender on that great lens if I were you Matt, especially for flight shots.

Thanks very much for the comment and advice, Karl. I am new to bird photography and any advice is very much appreciated.
