From last spring,looking forward to this coming one…from the local tailwater.Wish I could afford the new 70-200L,the minimum focusing distance sounds interesting…

Have you tried Tubes Jason or the 300 f4?
Our streams are only rarely clear enough to try this, but I think Id be tempted to use the 300 f4 and or tubes on a 100-400Jason,
I am headed to Los Roques in March. I would love to chat with you about your experience there. Would you mind sending me your email?

I’ve always had trouble with shutter speeds on the 100-400,with a CP,tried tubes,but couldn’t get the results I wanted,the 300mm has too long of a min.focus for me.Would like to try a 200mm 2.0 with a 2.0x though.Never used a higher end prime,would like to.
Corey-thanks,those midges can see the fish coming and take off,more aware then I thought…
Tim-I’ll be ready when your internship is over,just let me know.
Matt-PM sent
JJason, a 2x CP will have the same impact on your SSs as your CP, a 2 stop hit, it will also impact focus speed significantly. Add them both (CP and 2x tc) and your losing 4 stops.
You could look at Sing Rays CPs as they only reduce the light getting through by about 2/3 stop. They arent cheap though.
