It appears that the extenders only work with L series lenses. Is
this correct, and if so, what happens if one tries to use them with
non-L lenses?

Hello all, perpetual lurker here. I have a EOS film and first
generation
digital, d60. I have a couple of telephotos, the 75-300 lens, and the
75-300 IS lens, as well as 2 shorter zooms. I have a desire for a
current
opportunity for a longer lens, and am wondering whether it would be
better
to pair one of my telephoto's with a converter, or go for the
100-400. I
assume that the 100-400 would be more expensive at $1300 and change
at B&H,
but it seems that I read somewhere that going with a teleconverter
and one
of my current lens might actually yield decent results. I'd use it
mostly
for wildlife and outdoor photography. In my mind, the deciding
factor would
be the quality at the 400 focal length between the teleconverter
combination
vs. the 100-400. Since the 100-400 doesn't go beyond 400, if the
teleconverter paired with either of my current lenes yielded
similar to the
100-400, I'd go with the teleconverter--since it would give me more
flexibility. But, if the quality of the teleconveter combo sucked,
then I
might opt for the 100-400. Does that make sense? Thanks in
advance for
your advice. cjr
