I will. I still have it on order at the moment, but it should be here soon. As AF will be crucial at 800mm f8, I am hoping it will perform as good as the 1.4TC on the Sony A7rII, which can really nail focus dead on with its on-sensor phase detection system. I did not expect much, it was more for fun, but it exceeded my expectations greatly. So much so, that I am now using the 400DOII more on the Sony body than on the Canon body. Not at all meaning to fuel a mirrorless discussion here, but the accuracy and 99% consistency of the sensor phase af is a bit of a revelation for me. It is not native though, so not sure if it will work with the 2.0TC. If not, I will be visiting my camera store after the summer to try out the EOS-R. It was a bit of a personal wish these past years to have pinpoint accurate and consistent AF and now it seems that mirrorless does indeed provide that.
