Twice the reach at what price?

This extender is limited to which lenses it will work with, most of them L lenses. The II model features a new seven-element weather-resistant design, and improved anti-reflection internal construction. Auto-focus is possible with any EOS body if an f/2.8 or faster maximum aperture lens is used.Image Stabilization lenses maintain the IS feature when used with current EOS cameras.Using this extender with any lens will eliminate one or two f stops and decrease sharpness to some degree.I rented this...

Only acceptable on big glass

This is a good accessory with a 300mm f/2.8 or above. The problem comes when you try to use it with the Canon L zoom lens like the 70-200L or the 100-400L. You lose so much sharpness that it not acceptable for a pro or advanced am, which would be the people buying this accessory. If you have big glass then you should get this, otherwise stay with the Canon EF 1.4X II Extender and get publishable photos....

Double Your Reach for a Cost

Make sure to check the compatibility charts to verify that your lenses will work with this before buying it since only a handful of L series lenses are compatible.

Must have for sports and nature shooters.

If you have the big lenses (400mm f/2.8L IS USM or even the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM) this is totally worth the addition. The 2x does NOT kill the autofocus on the f/2.8 and effectively doubles your lens with very little distortion around the edges. Check compatability on Canon's website. You won't be disappointed!...

Effective

What a great little piece of kit. It's great with my EF 70-200mm f/4L.The only drawback is you've no AF.You are forced to use manual focus. Now this isn't a big problem, unless you're photographing wildlife or moving objects.Well worth the price though and very useful....
