Yes Hide #3, but is quite a distance away this morning ... :( You may be lucky next time though.

With Mk II, similar to 1v, you still get the centre AF to work since the body only 'sees' the 2x converter ... ::)

How can you stack old 1.4X and 2X II? using the tube method?
If a 1.4X II and 2X II were stacked, will AF still possible?

You'd have a problem if it was a old EF2x. The new ver. II has a deep recess built in hence no ext tube necessary.

Whether you get AF or not depends on the EOS body used. All pro bodies such as 1D, 1D2, 1v and 3 should works okay.

For 600/4, if the camera is aware of the 1.4X and 2x, the effective aperature will go down to f/11, am I right?
In this case, the PRO body has no AF too...

or..the camera only "sees" the 2X when stacked ?

Sorry for so many questions as I plan to get a EF 2X II soon.

Yes, the camera only 'sees' the 2x electronically and thought it was at f/8 hence AF works. This works well under good lighting ... ::)

Just a side note, the in camera exposure reading with stacked converters will be correct, ie effectively at f/11, nonetheless. ;)
