You can read about the reviews for the 1.4x III here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-Extender-EF-1.4x-III-Review.aspx and the 2x III here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-Extender-EF-2x-III-Review.aspx Hope this helps ;)

You would probably want to go through a certain number of questions which may include but not limited to: 1) Weight 2) Aperture 3) IS 4) Price 5) Focal length Personally, I think that if you are shooting portraits or looking for a walkabout lens and have enough money, the 24~70...

Leave photography on weekends and on months where there are no exams. Focus on doing well for your 'O' Levels if you are gonna take it in 2 years time. Choose to be in Art school after that. ;) Problem solved.
