Hi,a little Question regarding the EF 2x Extender II or III paired with a 300 2.8 on a 7D or 1D IV for a little extra reach, what do i have to expect in terms of AF Speed and Image Quality?
Thanks for your Input

AF is pretty slow and inconsistent. Manually focusing works better, images aren't quite as vibrant either.

I've heard the same. The 1.4 is much sharper than the 2.0
