change to purchase a new LENSE

[plantlady]

I have a Canon DSLR EOS Rebel 450D Xsi, will all the camera's functions work with the Tamron lense SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD (Canon mount) and a Canon Extender either the EF 1.4x II or the EF 2x II?
Or work better with the Tamron AF 2X Teleconverter?

The Canon teleconverters won't work with that lens.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I used to have that zoom lens with a compatable 2x converter.
The auto-focus did not work when the 2x converter was attached.

A Tamron 2x or a Kenko 2x or 1.4x will work with the lens as far as I can remember, however you lose 1 stop of light with a 1.4 and 2 stops with a 2x, so the autofocus wont work with any converter with that lens. To get AF on a 2x you need an f2.8 lens and an f4 with a 1.4x.
