Lucky you managed to get it from a member on another site for a fraction of the price in the link you quoted. You got a really good deal there.

I've a Canon 2X one.

They're great to extend your lens but remember you may not be able to AF through it and It will double your 'f' too.

It will take the lens to f/4 Phil, through the range, so should be fine. AF works fine too. It is for this lens.

Thanks all, now I just need the weather to brighten up!! I also have a new none photographic toy I will be playing with.
