For Sale - Canon extender EF 2x series III

SOLD.
Forgot to list this when I listed the 70-200 lens. I think I paid around $450 for this from B&H about a year ago. I've never used it, it's basically a new extender. This only fits the 'L' series white lens. It will not work on the black lenses.
$350 + 12.00 S&H

Actually, the uses for the 2x are more limited than simply any white L lens if you want to retain autofocus. Check the product manual at Canon USA. I believe AF will be limited to an L lens with a native f/4 aperture or wider as well as a 1D, 7DII or 5DIII body. The f/2.8L lenses (white & black) as well as the 135 f/2L meet this requirement for continued AF with (I believe) all Digital EOS bodies. I'd have to check the manual myself to be 100% ....

Also works on the 5D MKII. If I didn't already have one I'd buy it in a flash. That's a very good price!

Yes, I tried it on both my Mk II and MK III when I was testing it with the 70-200 f/2.8 L. Worked fine on both cameras.

I've used it with black lenses (L) as well and it worked fine!
I don't think it ever was that high at B&H, the highest was $399 new (at least as I can remember, but maybe they went up).

Yes, the series III was $$25 + S&H and insurance. Came to about $450.
The extender by itself is now $449.

Yes the price was higher. I paid $495 each for the 1.4 and the 2x when they first came out. Your price is a very good one.

That very extender works quite well on the BLACK EF 180mm Macro lens.
