there is no date code...
I knew this was the case with new 70-200 2.8IS II, but didn't know there would be no date codes for extenders as well...
Oh well, who cares... I'm just glad to finally test out the 2.0 extender with my 200L.

My 70-200 MKII does NOT have a date code. Canon has ceased this long time tradition if i recall in the 3rd quarter of the 2010 production runs. Silverfox1 POTN Feedback / TC Extender Tests / Gear List

Hmmm, so I guess nobody really knows about the new extenders having no date codes... I would assume since Canon released the new TC III versions specifically for the superduper new Great Whites all Date codes will be eliminated on L lenses & products associated with this grade of glass.
