> Unless you have a camera lens with an aperture value of f/2.8 you had better plan on manually focusing your lens with a 2x teleconverter. With the Canon 7D, 40D, 50D etc... you cannot auto focus any lens unless its maximum aperture is f/5.6. You will have to get a 1D series camera in order to autofocus up to f/8, but they are quite spendy, which is why I don't have one yet!

> I would stick with a 1.4x teleconverter, I use it almost full time with my 500mm f/4 and my 7D. It retains sharpness quite well, about the only time I have it off is when I'm on a pelagic, or if the light is really really dim (early morning/late afternoon).
