Sold the 280 and 1.4x and kept the 350 and 2x. The 350 is a sleeper lens in that its performance is stellar with and without the 2x extender. It is one of the lenses that I will never sell as there is nothing like it. 350 is a great tele focal length. And at 700mm with the 2x... wonderful combination. Jim
