Can anyone suggest a good 2X Entender for a Canon EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
to be used on a 10D?

An EF75-300 IS lens and a 2X Tamron F AF converter mounted on a D60
work well for me.

Dave , What is the 35mm equivalence of the three combined please?

It is around 230-920mm or so and you get the two stops back and more
with the IS lens plus 400 ISO.

George Lepp suggested the Tameron 2X extender in a seminar I attended
several years and I found the combination usable on an EOS RT and 630.

It is much sharper on a D60.

Thanks Dave,

You might try the 1.4X Canon. with the 1.6X equivalent on the 10D/20D,
you'll get the equivalent of 168-672mm with less light loss. I can't recall
if you will lose auto-focus with the 1.4X Canon.
