New 400mm DO II not suitable for converter?

[PuffinPicture]

According to kamera-express dot nl the new EF 400mm f/4.0 DO IS II USM would NOT be suitable for a converter
I cannot believe this...
Can anyone confirm a Yes or No to this?

Canon have provided pretty impressive MTF graphs with both TC's, so I'm putting money on it working with them.

Ditto.

That would make it almost DOA. For that price, it would better make coffee as well

Thanks @rs and @Khalai. I'll go for the coffee maker then!

Specs on Canon Germany say it IS SUITABLE. See here:
http://www.canon.de/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/EF_Lenses/Fixed_Focal_Length/EF_400mm_f4_DO_IS_II_USM/

See a little bit below:
"Kompatibilität mit Extender kompatibel"
Means it is compatible.

For that price it would have been really be a shame for Canon !
Can't wait to see the MTFs and sample images as well !!
