Hi,
I've got the opportunity to upgrade either my body or my main lens. The plan is to do one this year and the other next year.
My main setup at the moment is a Canon 5d3 with the 500mm f4is version 1.
I can just about afford to either upgrade to a 500mm f4is ii, which I feel will give me better IQ with the new converters and will be more future proof, or go with a 1dx, which will give me better AF and a faster frame rate so I can try a little more flight shooting. I've never tried a 2x on this lens, so if the v3 converter is capable of good IQ with my current lens, this option may give me a larger range of shots to go for (I'm thinking the 1.4 for flight and the 2x for the more static subjects).
The 1dxii and 600mm f4is ii are not an option unfortunately
Thanks in advance
Mike
