Must have for sports and nature shooters., October 18, 2005
Reviewer: T. Harding "Crazy Cracker"
If you have the big lenses (400mm f/2.8L IS USM or even the 70-200mm
f/2.8L IS USM) this is totally worth the addition. The 2x does NOT kill
the autofocus on the f/2.8 and effectively doubles your lens with very
little distortion around the edges. Check compatability on Canon's
website. You won't be disappointed!

Great addition to my EF 70-200 L f/4 !!!, April 8, 2004
Reviewer: "didntitellu"
This high quality extender is a great addition to my Canon EF 70-200 L f/4
!! With a top-notch build quality and a tough, weather resistant design
equal to that of their highly respected line of "L" lenses, Canon has
produced a great product for its unbeatable zoom lens !! Although the 2X
extender renders the A/F function useless on many Canon cameras, I found
this to be a Very small drawback overall ( I prefer to manually focus
under many of my shooting conditions). This extender is more suited for a
low f/number lens due to the 2-stop change in brightness, but it is still
VERY effective with my f/4 in normal lighting. A lightweight and fairly
inexpensive way to double your focal length, while maintaining the
incredible optical quality of the main lens...My backpack will always
contain my 2X and 1.4X extenders !!

Double Your Reach for a Cost, April 28, 2006
Reviewer: Brian Koch "Aspiring Photographer"
Make sure to check the compatibility charts to verify that your lenses
will work with this before buying it since only a handful of L series
lenses are compatible. If you do already have one or more of these lenses
though this is a nice addition. The AF only works with lenses f/2.8 and
faster on most camera bodies. You do also give up image quality by putting
this between your lens and camera body. When using longer telephoto lenses
with this, you will want to use a tripod, cable release, and mirror lockup
in all but the brightest of conditions. If you need this much extra reach
you may be better off getting a 1.6X camera body or saving up for a longer
lens.

Reviewer: Mr. Paul Walsh
What a great little piece of kit. It's great with my EF 70-200mm f/4L. The
only drawback is you've no AF. You are forced to use manual focus. Now
this isn't a big problem, unless you're photographing wildlife or moving
objects. Well worth the price though and very useful.

Adorama is selling used product as new., December 22, 2004
Reviewer: dpe50 "dpe50"
Just received Canon EF 2X II from Adorama. Paid $279.95 plus $17.95
shipping. Len has been previously used and placed back in the pouch and
sold as new. Len cap is marred with several scratches. Looks to have been
handled rough. My advice is bypass Adorama as a third party vendor and buy
directly from Amazon. Adorama refunds within 14 days less shipping. Thats
$17.95 for me to return a used product sold as new. Won't go there again!

Professional Photographers opinion on Adorama, May 5, 2006
reviewer: K Larkin
I have owned and operated a
Photo Studio for 8 years and have purchased cameras and equipment from
many camera stores. I have found that Adorama has consistently good
prices and is a good place to do business with. They do what they
say they will do and I highly recommend them. I have purchased many
items from them.
