Bill,

That's correct. On a 7D and all non-1D cameras you can only add a 1.4 tc if
your lens is an f4 or bigger aperture. To add a 2.0 tc you need a 2.8
aperture or bigger for auto focus.

Kenmore told me that the maximum?aperature for auto focus to work is 4.0 or
4.5
(I forget which), which is why I did not buy one to couple with my? 7D +
100-400
zoom, which?has a maximum aperature of 5.6 at the 400mm setting. <---
