The EF 50 1.8 II has a fixed rear element (or at least mine does) so how can
where it is focused make a difference. For what it's worth I use mine with a
Kenko Pro 300 2x as a lighter weight option for a portrait lens than the
EX 70-200 2.8 HSM. It seems to work reasonably well although focussing
performance deteriorates quickly in low light.
