looking for an extender that is compatible with my Can EF75-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens

I have a Canon 5d mii camera and had purchased a Canon EF lens : 75-300mm : 4-5.6 IS USM many years ago for a Canon t90 and would like to get an extender (tc) for the DSLR and lens. I have looked at the compatibility charts for the Canon 2x and 1.4 tc but I do not see this particular lens listed. Can anyone suggest where to find out whether or not I can purchase a tc for this lens or not.. Thanks much ~mmstar

I don't think that lens can be used with a TC but even if it can it's going to kill your AF performance.

You can not use the Canon extenders at all as they will not fit

like Jgordon24 said, you cannot use Canon TC. But you can use third party one like ProOptics or Kenko. But your camera AF may not working.

Forget it. Don't do it. It is a bad idea.
