I recently decided to try a 2x TCIII w/ my 70-200 f/2.8 VRII (Nikon) as a compromise "travel lens". Initial tests seemed quite good.
So I decided to go for a challenge...swallows in flight.
D3, 70-200VRII + 2x TCIII, @ 1/1500, ISO 640 (auto), 150mm (yeah, I know), spot meter/ spot focus (dynamic 51pt).
Image is approx. 25% of original. (I just couldn't keep them in the frame)
I took about 25 images with about 50% in focus and 5-6 "keepers". All in all, not bad IMO. I've never done any better with Swallows in flight (or any passerines for that matter). I still feel 400mm is a bit short on a FF.
