Canon EF 500mm f/4.5 L USM

Pros: Not excessive weight when compared to other 500 more recent ones; f/4.5; Fast autofocus

Cons: It is not stabilized; bulky in use and transport

Opinion: Dated lens, but it has its reason: lighter than the stabilized models, it loses only half an aperture, for those who do photographic hunting the stabilizer is of little use. He accepts multipliers and in the middle he loses almost nothing by closing 1 stop. Used with 2x on FF it is better than smooth on APSC. With teleconverters it loses a little bit in AF speed, but it is still more than decent. If it is in good condition it is worth it. It won't be super sharp like the 500 f/4 IS II, but it defends itself well. And compared to RF zooms, this one has stratospheric color and light rendition.

Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD

Pros: lightweight for the category and quite compact; quality price

Cons: at longer focal lengths soft at TA

Opinion: Lens purchased used, amazed me for the quality more than acceptable at focal lengths 300-450; a bit soft and made not flawless at the edges if used at extreme focal lengths, especially at maximum. Improve by closing 1-2 stops. It underexposes slightly to 600mm and TA, more noticeable with the EOS 250D and less so with 90D. To start anyway, an economic solution (they are used at a good price), and in any case adequate for those who go hiking and need not very heavy equipment.

Pentax HD DA AF 1.4x AW Rear Converter

Pros: precision, quality, AF speed, compactness

Cons: It practically has none. does his job very well

Opinion: Excellent multiplier, maintains autofocus speed with very slight delay, qualitatively it loses almost nothing, indeed the 150-450 even improves. I have 2 ...., since one is now fixed on 150-450, the other I use it with 300 f / 4.5, the old blender that still has an enviable yield. Superrecommended. It costs less than the competition. Too bad they never did a 2x autofocus....
