For the ones who are using Canon's and shooting with long telephoto lenses (600mm and above / especially with the 1.4 and 2x converter) , I would like to see some RAW stuff, right out of the camera. If you have the post processed image as well to compare those 2, that would be great!
Specs would be nice too.
Thanks

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Vasco,
These were shot full-frame on the D60 with only minor retouching:
600mm F4 IS
500mm F4 IS
I have some shots in the DB where I used the 70-200mm F2.8 L with a 2x telelconverter as well.
I can't promise you EXIF data or RAW files. It's all buried in the archives...
Maybe if you ask specific questions I could try answers? What is is you're looking into?

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Great topic. This time next year I will be buying my 500mm F/4 L with both converters. I would love to see some photos taken with that lens.
RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
VASCO
Can you link a few of your 400 f2.8 Nikon?
I am going to buy that lens soon, any hints you can give? I am thinking using a 1.4 tele not 2x because worried the loss of quality and fstop.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for showing the pics. Is the 1.4x on the 400 faster and better in focus than the 2x on the 400mm?
If you shoot far away on the 2.8 400mm with the converter, how is the heat haze distortion come out?
The main motive for me to buy it is on the 80 -400mm VR f4.5-5.6, on top end 400mm it is f5.6. and Hope the f2.8 can help to focus better, getting a sharper pic on super tele range stuff.
I also know they have a 1.7x ? any idea on that?

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
I didnt notice that the AF is faster on the 1.4 than on the 2.0 , in terms of sharpness the 2.0 is getting really borderline under not perfect conditions, if u have heat haze and using any of the TC , u can throw the pics right into the bin 
I would personally go now for the 1.7 instead of the 2.0. the main reason for me to buy the 400mm AFS was the AF, I used to work with the 80-400mm and had probs focusing fast enough on fast objects, also the 2.8F gives you some more space , if light is vanishing, though the VR on the 80-400 equlas that a bit. overall the 400mm is a great lens, but quite heavy and a lot to wear if you are on a trip ... , I bought mine 2nd hand ... , didnt want to spend that much money on a new one ....

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Sam,
e-mail me, maybe we can work something out here.
The 400mm f2.8 is a great lens, tack sharp, AF is a tad slower when you slap on the 2x converter but you are looking at an unbeatable 800mm f2.8 plus the crop factor = 1200mm.
Heat haze indeed is killing every moment. That is why I head to the airport early (at least in the summer) and leave around 10.00......
Since you asked here are some samples, all taken with the 2x at 1200mm

Damn Royal,
I guess you are right. Woohhhezz me. I just wanted to see the images taken with this lens.
Sorry Vasco,
I read deeper into this thread and realized you had a darkside. <--------JOKE 
I didnt know you shot both Canon and Nikon.

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Actually I wanted to see some long telephoto shots right out of the box, but since no one really replied, we figured let's turn this into a Nikon thread.
Still there are so many shooters who are using Canon primes, seems there is no one really interested in showing off.
Where are Colin, Ryan, Joe P when you need them ??????

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Vasco - since you specifically asked for 600mm or bigger, didn't think you'd be interested in shots with a ticthy 500mm - but if you want, I'm happy to send you a RAW file (or unprocessed jpg) from a 500 +2x convertor

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Ok, I am especially interested in everything taken with prime lenses and the 1.4 and 2x converter.
shots taken with a 300mmf2.8 and above are welcome.
Additionally If anyone is willing to post stuff from the 100-400mm plus a converter I'd be interested in seeing these as well.

I replied Vasco. But you decided to ignore me.
I have some time today and I can dig up the RAW file. But I won't go through the trouble if you're not interested.
I have shots with the Canon 600, 500 and 300 primes. I have shots using the 300 + 2x and also the 70-200 + 2x. I have not used the 600 or 500 with a teleconverter.
I am glad to help, but if it ain't appreciated... why should I bother?

You guys now how to handle a big lens!!!!!
William, the Eva Air is a killer. I love every detail of that shot.
Ryan, you are the master....Those stacked TC shots are extraordinary.
Since you did not want to plug the photos, I will do it.
and there are many more!

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
I am so tempted to sell my 100-400 L IS and buy a 300 F4 IS + 1.4 TX.
I see a lot of people use the longer primes, but what about the medium length primes such as the 85 and 135?

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
Vasco, Thanks. What's really ironic is I have the 100-400 IS L in my kit that is now almost never used. I once thought I could never use a fixed lens for action shots but nothing could be further from the truth. I love watching my subject in the viewfinder as it fills the frame to my liking. I'm still experimenting with the stacked TC's though. The AF has to nail your subject spot-on for optimum results, plus the combined weight of the 1D2, 300 2.8 & TC's will destroy your arm and neck if you swing it for a full day. It's especially hard on my 45 year old frame

RE: Canon Images Right Out Of The Box.....
but what about the medium length primes such as the 85 and 135
If you're referring to the Canon primes, these are exceptional quality lenses indeed. My old FD 85mm f1.2 was perhaps my favorite lens ever - but perhaps of limited use as an aviation lens. The 135 is a bit of an odd one - IMHO too long for portrait work, not long enough for most normal tele applications.
The 135 used to be a very common lens. I think I read somewhere that this was an arbitrary length - possibly something to do with a limit on old rangefinder cameras?
The fact is that these days quality mid range zooms are SO good its hard to justify lugging around a bunch of primes to cover the same range. People using them usually have a specialist requirement - esp. low light cpability.

Colin

Hi Rez,
Thanks! I only opened up the Martinair shot, and there was no detail, so I got curious.
