In a message dated 98-07-29 13:07:54 EDT, you write:

<< Quite frankly, the results were appalling. Soft focus and washed out
 colour. Nothing wrong with the 90/2, as shots taken before and afterwards
 with just the prime lens were tack sharp and rich in colour. >>
That has not been my experience at all. In fact I just took some photos of the
gopher in my back hill (who torments my dog) as he stood outside of his
burrow. I used the 400, 6.8 with the 2X extender and the results are quite
good. E-mail me your address and I'll send you a 4x6 print if you would like
to see it - not a great photo but you can see what  handheld shot, 200 speed,
looks like at 800mm. I have been very impressed witht the extender and it's
not even the new one.
