So i´m not sure whether the extender will keep the performance - I think I´ll use crops from the SL2 instead of buying the extender...

Compared to my Sigma 100-400 (sold...) I´m happy with this lens :-)) The Sigma extender 1.4 didn't work well....

Thanks to the very competent, informative and helpful folks  ( particularly Mackie Harlan, the resident in-store Leica Ambassador ) at the Bellevue Leica Store near Seattle, I received my new Leica 100-400 Vario Elmar with the 1.4 Extender. I had downloaded all the latest necessary firmware to enable my SL 601 to 'talk' to all the new equipment and drove to the local UPS store with my SL bag in the car to pick up the lens , since I wasn't home when they first attempted delivery and required a signature. As I put the package into the car, an old pick-up truck pulled into a far corner of the parking lot of the shopping center and immediately caught my attention. Ripped the package open, put the extender and lens on the camera, set ISO at 400, zoomed to 400mm, thus shooting at 560mm.....and Voila, the 1st image with the 100-400, as impromptu, unplanned and unexpected as it could be.

I think this set-up, purchased solely to extend the range of the SL line into a, for me, more practical and useful telephoto range will definitely becom a long-term part of my 601 kit.

SL / 100-400 V.E. with 1.4 extender @ 560mm, handheld.

Purchased the 100-400 last week to use it during a festival shoot of headliner Anouk. Before using it professionally, I tested it briefly walking the dog in the morning. It was a instant love relation 😉

Brilliant shot!

Makes me think to sell my Sigma 150/600 and walk into the Leica store…
