I took the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II and the 2x teleconverter out for an early start today. This was at 6:00 am.

Hi, Stanley.

Thanks for asking.

I bought and then returned a 2X teleconverter back in late February. You can read about that here:

2x Teleconverter with 70-200 GM II and A1

This is mainly for folks who know that I had wanted and just got the 2x teleconverter. If you are wondering how things are going with that new adventure - here's where I am now. TLDR - after testing for seven days, I returned the 2x teleconverter. As I headed back to the store, I fully intended...

However, I found one at a great price in March, so I jumped at the chance because I wanted to try it with my newly acquired FE 200–600 mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS. I've been using the FE 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS II with 2X teleconverter for the past two days, and I was planning to do an update to the thread linked above. It may take me a day to do that, as I'm still processing the photos.
