I do have the 70-200/4 IS for the better lighting situations, but I thought I would have better luck extending the 135/2 to 189/2.8 than extending my 85/1.8 to 136/2.5 and went that way. What TC extender do you have and do you use it on your 200/2.8 to get 280/4 often?

I have the Kenko Pro 1.4X and the Canon 2XIII. I don't often use either one on the 200, but when I do, the 1.4X gives excellent results. The 2X works well enough, but I actually get better results using the 2X with the 70-200 F2.8L ISII.
