Testing the Sony 1.4x Teleconverter

When I rented the 100-400mm lens I knew I wanted to test out one of the two teleconverters that works with it. Some more reach without a whole separate lens? Yes please! I couldn’t rent one, but when I decided to just go for it and buy the lens, I added it in to the order. Kind of surreal having a lens set up that costs just as much (or more maybe?) then my camera body, but I guess that’s where I am now. The lens itself performed beautifully when I was taking portrait shots of Alexis, so my hopes were high. I did have to run some images through Topaz, but I’m not sure if that was because of my shaky camera work, bad focus or the converter itself….
