Nice little lens. Maybe you could ask Artie if you can borrow his trailer truck that he needs for red backgrounds (see his eagle post). :)

Robert, it shouldn't have a problem autofocusing with a 2x TC, as long as you have enough light!

Axel, I saw that image. Spectacular as always. A red background might be nice for a change. My backgrounds are always black!
