I've been using the Sony 70-200MM f2.8 with the 1.4X with good results. Here is a hummingbird photo (it is hummingbird week isn't it?) from this past weekend while experimenting with HSS flash. I failed with HSS since I should have been at a higher shutter speed, but still a pleasant photo.
Great hummer shot.

I'm suspecting that the 500/f4 and 600/f4 are 2019 events.

Oh, I wish that I had one now. The EF 500/f4 can be a battle for AF and the same is true with the 100-400mm plus 2.0x, which yields f/11. Even in great light, I still battle AF for BIF, compared to no problemo with the 100-400mm plus 1.4x or bare. I think that the 400/f2.8 is going to be too heavy for me to handhold, but we'll see. A nice 800/f5.6 should be fast.
