If its got the gubbins for a canon body it'll work with any lens that also has the gubbins for a canon body.*

* 'gubbins' is not an actual technical whatchamacallit...... Word.

If the lens has an aperture larger than f2.8 then no autofocus on the body. Personally I wouldnt bother with the 2x, go for the 1.4x instead. Less mushy
