agreed.

does the 2.0x tc autofocus with your 500mm? i thought it only worked for F4 and under and i thought the 500 was a 5.6?

how do you like using the TCs? i've heard some people complain of slight loss to IQ, but nothing major.

I ordered one a while back, but i think the place forgot about the order (they don't take payment before orders, which is stupid of them, especially in the current economy.)

i think i'd be happy with a 1.4 since going from my 5D to my 7D is so drastic, i don't think i'd mind the 1.4 as i think the 2.0 would be massive.
