It only works with certain Canon L lenses which don't allow the two lens elements to touch. There is a compatability list on the Canon site.

Quote: I was going to say, to be careful about AF, but the f/4 should be OK, I think?

Provided it fits (*), it'll work fine.

(*) I assume that it will, my Mk1 did, can't imagine that the later models will have dropped the extender compatibility.

70-300l is a magic compact L zoom, I use one as a walk about lens, and I am usually quite amazed what you can capture panning and wafting in good light

Its an interesting lens that Canon has provided, as its designed by them not to fit a Canon teleconverter, which is bad news for Canon because everyone then buys the Kenko DGX, which I have to admit works quite well it

Its size, weight, IS and AF, IQ and zoom are all plus factors, the only two negatives are its f5.6 at the long end and the not included Canon Tripod collar costs a kidney, however I use a £10 knock off jobby from the far east, its the same size collar that fits the 28-300L, and I have had no issues

Below is is an image captured recently with it, I have tried to replicate and get a better shots with my 300L 2.8 prime and failed, and I am still fit enough to waft that about quite efficiently
