several reasons for the softness: lens isn't super sharp, 2X extender makes it worse, shooting wide open is worse, and 1/500s shutter speed, even on a good tripod, is marginal at that much magnification when you have to be holding the camera and aiming it. the ball head couldn't be tight as i had to track the rapidly moving birds. mostly though, i think it is the converter.
