I am wondering if anyone can share their experience using the above for birding. Autofocus performance and IQ. I am currently using a Canon 60D + 100-400mm L IS II rig. Tried using the 1.4 Mk II but cant get good results. I find that even with the 1.6x crop on the Canon, I am still too far for birding. I am thinking of switching over to a Sony system and am wondering whether the additional mp will help with cropping. I know I will lose some reach on the Sony if I use the native 100-400mm G master + 1.4TC. I read that the Sony autofocus is good to f8 so any experience with the 2X TC on the 100-400mm (autofocus and IQ) would be appreciated. I was also contemplating sticking with the Canon but upgrading to an 80D and a 1.4TC MK III.
