    That's a good point. I should worry about extenders after I'm adjusted with the lens. Now I just actually got to get the lens. Thanks for everyone's help and replies!

    I just got the grip myself a week ago from Vello! Great purchase and I saved a 150 dollars from the Canon one. What's the difference between the 1.4 and 2.0 extenders?
