Hi Douglas, I use an EF 70-200 2.8L regularly and the EF 200 2.8L II once in a while, both with EF 1.4x and EF 2x converters. I gotta go with the 200 2.8 prime for pure image quality, it give cleaner images than the 2.8L zoom with and without the converters. But I prefer to carry the zoom for its versatility.
