Lastly...135 f2 as my one long lens?

AF is notably slower with 135/2L + Extender.

Even with the newest Extender 1.4x III, AF with the 135L is notably slower. Optical results are good, if not quite as good as without the Extender. I would not want my 135L to be my only telephoto, but I am reasonably content with my 135L, an Extender 1.4x III, and a 400/5.6L.

Every review/report/article I have seen, on the subject of using an Extender 2x, has indicated a lesser level of satisfaction with the image quality.

I wear a badge and pistol, and make evidentiary images at night, which incorporates elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. I enjoy using both Canons and Nikons.
