don't quiet see how your getting that iain ,the 400mm -f.5.6 will not except under exceptional lighting conditions take a t/c and even if you tape off the first three pins the results are at best putting it mildly crap .
if your taking into account your crop factor as written that will give you the 600mm but you can do that with nikon anyway .yes nikon could definetly do with a lens in the same genre as the canon 400 but something will turn up eventually

Nikon of course have the 200-400 f4 AFS which with a Kenko DG300 Pro x 1.4 will give you a 560mm f5.6

Of course the lash is on the purchase of the lens!

The 400 f5.6 with a 1.4 tc on a 1D body works fine and is good even in poor light. It's not D3 class at high iso but it works.

Gary, if you tape the first three pins on a Canon tc it fools the camera into thinking the tc is not there so it will focus on bodies the will not focus at f8.

Thanks Ian. Humans can be very imaginative can't they? How's life with your new system? Miss your birding shots.

Very clever.
I wonder if the Nikons can also be fooled in a similar way.
