I seem to recall that the 400/5.6 had a bit of a long MFD, but it's worth a try.

I was thinking of that. The MFD on the 400 5.6 is 11.5 feet. With my 12mm ET attached, it's about 8 or 9ft. I just bought a 25mm ET to use with other lenses as a poor man's macro. I'll see what that does to the 400 5.6. Using both ETs should prove interesting.
