Aside from canned tests, has anyone had any experience using the new Canon 2X TC III with mid-range telephoto primes - specifically 135L and 200L?
I'm curious if the images would disappoint...

I should have clarified that when I said 200 prime I was speaking specifically for the 2.8 variant! BTW, that thread is actually what prompted this one. Thanks! Randy...
