Hi all.

I'm buying my 70 200 2.8 soon for portrait work, but would like to also buy a 2x converter to use it for birds.

I assume you mean the original EF 2.8 - if you are actually getting the RF, then of cause you will need a RF extender as well

Birds is only a hobby and have limited budget.

While using an extender usually results in better image quality than cropping, you may still satisfy your "hobby" need and quality demand, by just cropping, depending on how you intend to use your images. I have a fair amount of images printed as A3 hanging on the walls from my first dSLR, the D30, which was only 3 Mpixel
