400mm f5.6 with 1.4x tc



hi i am thinking of getting the 400mm f5.6 and using it with a 1.4x tc. Will i have to tape the pins to retain the use of the auto focus?
Thanks in advance for any info

If you're not using a 1D body then yes you'll have to get the masking tape out.


Unless you use a cheap non reporting tc (not recommended) you will need to tape the pins as Paul says. I have been out with my 400 f5.6 and taped tc today and got some nice images.
