ps: One of the suggestions I have been making for years is that the cameras be designed so that all sensors are available at f/8....

Wish they listened to you and made it so that center AF is possible at f/11. As the product has just been announced and is in public testing maybe you and the other Explorers of Light can really emphasize the need for f/8 focusing as that is one of the major draws of the 1-Series especially for advanced amateurs like myself.

Now it appears we can do two things to get AF at f/8
- tape trick
- LiveView AF

To me, Canon has managed to cut the sales of their Extender 2.0x III by a significant amount as lot of those who use TCs own f/4 and f/5.6 lenses. I sold my 2.0x II and I am thinking of not pursing purchase of the version III.

I have already let Canon know that if a software fix could solve the problem that that would be a very good plan.
