Subject: [Leica] APO 2X extender and 70-180

Hello All,

First of all, thank you so much for all your advices on the 70-180/2.8
and 80-200/4 zoom.

Went to check out both lens and think that the 70-180 is heavy but still
holdable.  80-200 zoom on the other hand is much more ligher.

I can live with f4 apeture but I must admit I am getting greedy about
the idea of adding a APO 2X extender to get 140-360/5.6.

Does anyone know how is the performance of the APO 2x entender on the
70-180/2.8 at wide open?  (If I need to step it down to f8-11 to get so
so performance, I rather go for the 80-200/4 and forget about the 2X
part.)

Thanks in advance.


Regards.
