On the positive side, if you use the 2X extender, additional lens to subject distance will be gained - although such distance may not be needed in many applications. On the negative side, two f-stops will be lost. Since the lens will most likely be closed down to around f22 at 1:1, such a light loss may present a significant handicap. This depends, of course, upon whether natural (my preference) or artificial light is employed. Bill Christensen
