Shimano Ultegra FD-6800 max diff between rings?

My bike has 46-36 chainrings and I want to go to 50-36. The Shimano Ultegra FD-6800 derailleur on my bike can go up to 53T max, but will it be able to shift going from a 10 tooth difference to 14 tooth?

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, it will shift the 14t difference just fine. Look at the 50/34 chainrings that are so common now.
