G'Mornin' again, Doug!

I'm curious...  with the 400/6.8 Telyt and the older, non-apo 2x 
extender, I get some serious vignetting.  With the newer, APO version, 
there is no vignetting. Other than that, the results are superb with 
either converter.

Have you tried the 560/6.8 with the older extenders... and if so, how 
were they for vignetting?
