I have a 70 200L ef2.8 II and was wondering if it would be better to just buy the 2XIII instead. I'm not really sure if there would be a big diffrence? The cost factor on the lens used is around 175.00 US I heard the extender with my lens combination makes for a good telephoto lens. Thank you in advance www.Jeffreyantonphotography.com

I absolutely love the 70-200 + 2xIII combo, the autofocus is very quick, and the picture quality is right on the money. Have a look at these   Castle Coombe Spring Action Day 2011 by Ian and Nikki, on FlickrIan. Canon 5DIII | BG-E11 | Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art | 24-105mm f4L | 70-200mm f2.8L IS II | 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II | x1.4 & x2 III | 430EX

The lens to body cap didn't fit. That was all I really seen wrong with it. I paid $180.00 so I don't think I got a bad deal, for the money. www.Jeffreyantonphotography.com
