Get the 2xIII. I tried a 2xII on my 300 2.8 IS and returned it. About a year later I bought a 2xIII and I liked results on a 7DMK2. I still use the 1.4xII, IQ is so good that I have to read the EXIF data to see if it was used to take the image.

Thanks! I'm now kicking myself for not buying the set of III extenders a friend offered...should have got the 2x III then.

...I'm starting to use the 1.4x II again with my 300mm and am finally getting the results most folks here seem to be getting.

I originally bought it about six years ago to take photos of hot air balloons with my 70-200mm f2.8L IS v1, which is probably the worst pairing possible. It soured me on Extenders early, even though I had also tried it with rented 300mm lenses too. I suspect some of my initial reluctance was from not taking into account the extra focal length too and needing to use a monopod etc.
