Here's the instructions.

I would start with the 50/1.4, The device is really optimized for 50mm 
and with the 50/3.5, the 2x part means starting at f7 wide open. The 
amount of extension is designed to take a typical 50mm 'normal' lens and 
extend it to 1:1. On a longer lens, it naturally has less effect.
