excellent image with 2 of my favorite objects! Nice focus too, looks near on perfect... now mod that 350D

Ian: I too can not wait to get a 70-200 f/2.8L for my canon (which Im getting friday, modding hopefully by next week..)
I will say this on Teleconverters. Whilst they do increase your focal length by the amount specified... they will also lower your max aperture. I cant remember the exact amount, but I think its something like with a 2x teleconverter a 2.8 becomes 5.3~5.6 not exactly sure..

Be sure to remember that on a 1.6 crop camera (300/350/400/450/10/20/30/40 D series cameras) the 70-200 lens is effectively a 112-320 or there abouts... the extra focal length provided by a 1.4 or 2x TC is nice.. but relatively unnecessary
