Advertisement Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 Hi HPFM, Take a look here First Take on the Leica 1.4x Extender for the Leica 100-400 zoom. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
HPFM Posted April 5, 2023 Share #22  Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) 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.... Welcome, dear visitor!

Ivan Goriup Posted April 9, 2023 Share #23  Posted April 9, 2023 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. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

KaKa Posted June 30, 2023 Share #24  Posted June 30, 2023 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 😉 Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted June 30, 2023 Share #26  Posted June 30, 2023 Think about your 150-600 with 1.4 Sigma extender-the same extender optics… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
