Hi
I have a canon 100 400 IS II USM lens and have recently purchased a canon 2x III extender.
I have a canon 6D mark II camera.
I need help/advice. on the following issues.
1. I cannot auto focus using the extender. In fact the autofocus option disappears once the lens and extender is mounted on the camera.
2. The pictures are a bit hazy.
3. Any other tips to take wildlife photos using the extender.
Thank you.
1.

I don't use the 100-400 lens but every generation of it of which I am aware has a maximum aperture of f4.5 which puts it at f9 and outside of the f8 capability when using a 2X extender.
