Extender 2X II usefulness with 24-70 f/2.8? Would the Canon Extender 2X II (or 1.4 II) be a useful accessory for that lens on a cropped sensor?

Neither the Canon EF Extender 1.4x or 2x will work with that lens. They work only with L primes of 135mm and longer, and the 70-200mm and 100-400mm zooms. The Extenders will not mount the 24-70mm f/2.8L, are you could damage the lens by trying. There are extenders from other companies such as Sigma and Tamron that may work with the 24-70mm f/2.8L, but you may find the image quality disappointing.

if you have the funds you purchase the f/2.8. if not, get the 70-200 f/2.8. with f/2.8 you can utilize the 2x extender to better capabilities (either 300 or 70-200) i hope you have a camera to match the exceptional qualities of the 300mm f/2.8 to maximize what this lens offers.

I don't think so and here's why. The point of this adapter is to take Full Frame lenses and compress the image down to a cropped sensor camera. For example, I am using this on my Sony FS700 (cropped sensor) with a Canon 24 - 105 F4 (full frame) lens. The lens is not cropped because of the metabones adapter reducing the image. You could use a different adapter to go from Canon to Sony. I would guess a much cheaper one also.

Correct --The 1.4x will lower it 1 f-stop, the 2x will lower it 2 f-stops. This means an f4 will be f5.6 with the 1.4x or f8 with the 2xWith that said, this tele extender can be used with fixed focal length lenses 135mm and longer (except the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens), and the EF 70-200 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 70-200 f/4.0L, 70-200 f/4.0L IS USM, and 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS zoom lenses. I don't think it will work on a 24-105

I do not know if you can stack 2.0 with 1.4 extender will work even with Manual Exposure, since you will loss at least 3 stops. Not with any of the Auto and Semi Auto Exposures.

I didn't know that any lens was designed for a particular kind of sensor.The size of your sensor will determine the results of course.I've been using it on my T3i and it looks fabulous.

Yes it will "work", but on a crop sensor camera like the D200 it will have a field of view equivalent to a 36mm lens. There are certainly cheaper options in this range for a DX camera. That being said, the 24mm f/1.4 is a great lens with outstanding image quality.

Yes, you can use a 2x adapter between the lens and body. There is a kit with it included on Amazon. You might find it difficult to stabilize the lens enough to get decent photographs, though.

Kathryn, Canon do not list your lens as being suitable to use with either of their extenders. If you need to go longer (well over 300mm) you'd need to find another lens, either zoom or fixed, depending on the type of work you do. Good luck. Jeff

I've had some problems with my Canon 'hunting' for focus with the extender. It's internitent and eventually does auto-focus. The results, however, are exceptional!Don't give up, it's worth it.

None of the EF-S lenses will work with the 1.4X or 2X extenders. Not Bower or Canon. They will not fit the extender, the lens glass hits the extender glass.

I believe there is a list of which Canon lenses work with this extender. I have used it on my 200mm F2.8 L and 400mm just fine. I can hand hold it but on the 400 which is 11 lbs. is just a little much and any movement and it is blurred of course. I would suggest checking the list if you haven't. You can most likely find the list at Canons web site.

While Doug James answered this correctly, I did look up this lens on Canon Lenses. Normally, this is an f4 to 5.6 lens and is an EFS lens for C size cameras. For extenders the widest f-stop that is acceptable is f 5.6. So when you are at f 4.0 you might be able to use this but it would be very limited. You might want to try Canon extension tubes for magnification. The 25mm seems to do best with this lens. Remember though that infinity focusing is generally lost with extension tubes.

I have been using the 24-70 2.8 for a while now on my 7D and I find that the range is not optimal for outdoors. I can get some great shots at 70 mm, but at 24 mm the shots just are not wide enough - close but not there. Upgrading (or downgrading) to the 17-55 2.8 IS USM this week. I think it will be a way better lens for a cropped sensor camera. It will allow me to get some landscape shots that I was just not able to achieve with the 24-70.Side note: tried the 24-70 2.8 on my friend's 5D MII and it was awesome - It would be my lens of choice if I had a full frame camera.

This is one of the best lenses I have ever owned. I am not sure about the 35-70 2.8 version because there is no macro application on the 24-70. I use this lens for both fx and dx cameras how ever I would assume that it is a little sharper than the 35-70 due to the fact that it is newer technology. I can't find any current reviews for your lens. I agree with Marty in LA, buy the Nikon 105mm or 200mm if you want macro and if you need a versatile wide angle buy the 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 in either F2.8 or F4...

Hi,Seems to match.in some extremely wide angle lenses ultra thin filter is used, as far as I know it is not required for 24 mm.I use it on canon 18-200 (cropped sensor).Thanks.Guy

I bought the 24-105 lens recently because I thought the IS would make up for my lack of a higher aperture in low-light situations. It does to an extent, but I have decided that I want the f/2.8 for other reasons. So I'm trying to sell my 24-105 so I can buy the 24-70. I do wish the 24-70 had IS, but it's really not necessary because it's just a faster lens. It really depends on your use. If you are using it for weddings, you may want to consider the 24-70 because of the faster focusing and better handling in low-light situations. If you are using it for a general walk-around lens, the 24-105 will do just fine. I love mine and I almost want to keep it and buy the 24-70, but I can't afford both right now and I need the 24-70 for my business. You can see some sample photos from the 24-105 at my website: www.sarakelley.net. Email me there if you want more input or have any questions.
