I would not recommend it, too much loss of IQ and 800 F/11 will not autofocus. What are you planning to photograph with this.

What are you planning to photograph with this. As for the 400 F/5.6L, its a superb lens, super sharp wide open. If you want to put a TC on, go with the 1.4x. The 2x is mostly designed and useful on the super-teles. The 300 f/2.8L thru 600 F/4L Im just been curious....Just wonder i I should buy a 2x TC

I have not been happy with it on other lenses. Not terrible, but not great. On the 300 it is really good actually.

In good light it can be done... I also switched to the 300 2.8 for better use of my extenders... I am looking forward to my trip to FL next year.... Eric: www.avianart.net
