•  Comment Laitche, noise reduction has gone much too far here, you've lost a lot of detail, look at the feathers! --Kadellar (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
  • @Kadellar: Thanks for the comment. The source image is not so detailed unfortunately... Yes, I executed a bit NR and a bit sharp but I think differences are not so much. Here, pre NR and sharp feathers, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 21:37, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

• Not sure, but have you got any noise reduction activated directly on camera? 1Dx + 300f4 w/2x should be much sharper imo (well, maybe it's the multiplier, which seems to be the old first edition, isn't it?). I've gone birding and I could get finer detail with a bit better lens but worse body, so I don't really know how similar is your case. These: 1, 2 are crops, they are fine but there were some sharper pictures as well. --Kadellar (talk) 21:55, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Kadellar: I think the subject distance is much farther than your samples, I didn't downscale at all, crop only. Here, pre-crop version. And maybe caused by my skill... Of course I couldn't use tripod and lens-shake compensation is not capable in this case, I hope I can do more well next time :) --Laitche (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

p.s. I processed from the raw so camera NR is not involved. --Laitche (talk) 22:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! Yes, it seems my birds were much closer. The tripod also helps! --Kadellar (talk) 22:33, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Kadellar: Partially I don't get your comment "the multiplier" means extender? What does "the old first edition" mean? --Laitche (talk) 10:49, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Laitche: Yes, extender, sorry. With first edition I mean that there is now the 2x Mark III (2x III), which is much better. --Kadellar (talk) 12:11, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Kadellar: Thanks. I'm using EF 2.0X III, I think it's the latest model, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 12:39, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
