I did a lot of testing in the end. Using the 150mm and 50-200 lenses with 
1.4x and 2x convertors. I only really had problems at the long end and 
taking pictures near infinity. My friend said he was sure it was a problem 
in the E3 AF system, since the cameras he used were checked several times. I 
found it worst with the 150mm lens which, I thought, had stiction in the 
focussing system due to the weather sealing, which is a very bad thing for a 
control system. Maybe I'll rip the seals out and try again...
