Pietro.

I have the 1.4 EX III Extender. Coupled with the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS Mark II my lens is now f/4 throughout. Pairing the 2X Extender that lens is now f/5.6. Of course the focal length does increase accordingly. I do not have the 2X. Many have claimed 1.4 x produces better images. Do either Extenders  replace my 100-400, No. Does it have a place in my kit......Yes Sir.

I do not own the 100-400 Mark II, only the older Dust Pump.
