To me, it has near the quality of the 1.4 and near the reach of the 2.0. I still use the 1.4 the most with my 500 f/4 but I basically retired my 2.0 when I finally purchased a 1.7 a couple of years ago.

While that makes intuitive sense, Canon always recommends attaching the TC first to the lens and then the tc/lens assembly to the camera. I am not sure why this would be the case other than minimize the possibility of the camera being on and possibly causing some kind of short or current discharge while attaching the camera/tc to the lens?
