Hi,
I know this has been asked before but I can't find a definitive answer searching through the posts. (It's a question from a friend, I wish I could afford this lens.)

Can someone tell me if this combination will result in a loss of autofocus on a 350D?

Thanks

f5.6 is the autofocus limit so the 2x extender will take it over that. Manual focus only.

1.4x instead of 2x will work AF though.

The 2x extender never gets a decent write up, where as people rave about the 1.4x

2x suck donkey balls in Sigma guise

1.4 is much better

70-200 f2.8 with 2x TC on a 1DMk2 AND the lens is out of calibration, currently in with Canon at the moment getting sorted, along with my 100-400 ...
