Any forum members using a 60-D or have experience with a telephoto extender?? Would love to hear your thoughts / review of either.

Thanks!!

My opinion of the extender (any extender) is kind of "meh".

The extender is going to impact the minimum aperture opening of the lens (since f/stop is a factor of focal length to aperture diameter, the extender can effect focal length, but it CAN'T change the aperture blades). So, it's really only useful for outdoor shots with really good lighting.

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.
