That particular lens is no great shakes at MFD. OTOH, working at 9 to 12-feet, with my 500mm/2xTC/25mmET is luxurious. My 70-200mm f/4 also has a nice, close MFD and is great for near macro shooting, particularly with the 2.0xTC and the ET. The 400/5.6 doesn't have that great a MFD and you lose too much additional light when you start adding TCs and ETs.
