I have the 2 extender, I played with it for a bit, but don't think I've ever actually *used* it.

Not sure what lenses you have, but if you want to borrow my 100-400mm Canon L lens, I can drop it off one day. It's a good lens to couple to the 2x extender.

Thanks for the offer but that lens is on my radar screen and hopefully I will have one before the end of the year. My main telephoto is a 70-300 mm I.S. lens that has been working well for me. I can only imagine the beautiful shots you can get with the L series lens!
