Canon x2 MkIII Extender

[Ed T]

I wondered if I could ask if any of you guys use the above extender between a 1DX body and a 100 - 400mm F4.5-5.6 L and does it work ????

I went to the Photography Show last weekend and asked on the Canon stand about this combination and to my amazement I got conflicting advice and no real help from Canon......

Now I'm toying with taking my gear to a local shop who say they can help or shelving the idea of x2 Extender and just buy a second hand 7D Body.

I've upgraded from a 40D and looking to increase the reach of the lens but cant afford the prices of longer lenses.

Interested to hear any feedback or thoughts on this.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I don't have that lens but the combination will be f/11 at the long end so normal AF is out (but you'll still be able to use Liveview focusing).
