I did take a couple of shots in low light using the 1x4 on auto focus today,and not bad.When I have re -sized,(it takes ages) will post one.

Christine, with the 400mm f5.6 and around 50mm of extension tubes you can still only focus down to about 2 metres (as opposed to 3.5 mtrs without the tubes).
I think you were probably closer then 2 metres when you tried thus focussing was not possible.
