I have had a problem with the Canon 500 II lens and my 1.4 T.C. for months now.
The IS on the lens is giving me problems. Without the extender on it is a perfect IS system.
When I mount the extender on it and turn on IS it kinda jumps around internally and the pics are all bad.
Not all the time, mostly when I have it on a bean bag. It just goes bonkers.
No matter what shutter speed or whatever. With the old 500 IS I had it worked like a dream.
I was shooting in the jungle about two months ago and a man with a 600 II said he has had his IS replaced.
And it did not help the problem. He had the same problem.
Since I don't like extenders it is not a big problem but my warranty is out in a few months and I would like to get to the root of the problem.
Does the 1.4 III fix this problem. I currently use the 1.4 II version.
