After getting 24-105L I included 200/2,8L to my gear. Using telezoom before I acknowledged that many shots has been done at the long end. And a black color was my preference. I Like the quality of photos.

Just a question regarding to the use of TC. Some time ago I used Kenko 1,4 TC and didn't find it useful. What's your experience using Canon 2x TC?

Thank you.

It's the only lens I'm prepared to use my Mk I Canon 2x on; results aren't bad, especially stopped down 2 stops, and you have an amazingly compact 400mm lens.

Better with the Mk II and III TCs, or is the lens too old to benefit from their improvements?

They're optically better, so will be better. I do have the 1.4x Mk II, and there's hardly  any loss of quality with it, but I've used the 2x more with this lens because it's by far the most compact route I have to 400mm.
