If you've got any of these three, you are cookin' at medium-long FL: The Chubby, The Snout and The Redeemer.
(The reason I nicknamed 200 f/2 IS "The Redeeemer" is that compared to many of its latest EOS gear offerings, Canon seem to have managed to develop an excellent top notch product. No ifs, buts, flaws and limitations found with it yet, other than its (still) excessive price. Granted, the EF 800L might be yet another "redeemer" product, however, I have no experience with it, and most probably never will nor care to. )

These are my favorites at the moment...I've saved up for a long time to be able to afford these three. The "holy trinity" of crop zooms (well, technically it'd have to be the IS model of the 70-200).

I think you may be better off with the non-IS version.......much cheaper, yet likely sharper.

True...I should have added that this point is subject to debate. I mainly use my lens for sports, so the lack of IS isn't a huge issue. Plus, it is the highest-rated Canon zoom lens on FM, if I'm not mistaken.
Further to that, only the 17-85 is IS, and most would say that you don't really need IS on that lens to begin with. The 10-22 doesn't have IS... so all three, for a proper trinity would have to be non-IS
Five of my well-loved TCs mounted - (L - R) Canon 2x + Sigma 2x + Sigma 1.4x + Tamron 2x + Tamron 1.4x, total of 16x TC. Not having some ETs on hand, I can't seem to fit in the 6th one, a Canon 1.4x.
I wonder what the universe is like without teleconverters?
