Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Placed between the camera body and lens, a teleconverter contains a set of optics that will effectively increase the focal length of any lens with which it is used. KENKO Teleplus Pro 300 converters are made with precision quality multicoated optical glass supplied by Hoya Corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of optical glass. These glass elements are designed to match the optical quality of the prime and telephoto zoom lenses (even at the edges). The optical design of the elements and light path is wide enough not to cause vignetting. The PRO 300 family are designed to work best with telephoto zoom lenses of 100mm and above. The PRO 300 can be used with telephoto zoom lenses as well as prime lenses, however Kenko does not recommend them for zoom lenses that have a range starting at under 50mm. Full AF operation with the PRO 300 2.0x is possible when using camera lenses with a maximum aperture of F2.8 or brighter. Please be aware that AF will work properly only if there is enough light and contrast on the subject to activate the camera’s AF sensors. (Manual focusing is required when using lenses with smaller maximum f-stop value than those given above.)

Excellent service with very quick delivery.
I've tried this on Canon's 100 macro, 70-200, 100-400 and 24-105 and it works with all of them, perhaps most surprisingly with the 24-105 bearing in mind that it is designed for use with lenses over 100mm. Yes it can sometimes hunt a bit if trying to use AF on some subjects, but fine once switched to manual.
A great piece of kit to carry in the bag all the time, it takes up so little space, ready for use with any of the above should that extra 'reach' be needed.
Highly recommended and a much cheaper way to get a long lens than spending hundreds - I certainly wouldn't be thinking of buying a 800mm lens with its near 5 figure price tag, although I am sure the quality of the images using such a beast would be better. The quality may be reduced a little, but for most users this is not going to be an issue.

This is a fantastic piece of kit and is never off my 75-300mm Canon EF lens. You have to accpet that here will be a loss of light and although some say that the AF no longer works once the Converter is fitted I have not found this to be the case. Yes, the AF can take a couple of attempts to 'lock-on' but it cdertainly works, then again, taking pictures of the moon (which is the main reason I brought this) I usually focus manually anyhoo!
A great addition to my collectionn of lenses and certainly easier to afford than an equally performing lens on its own.

I bought one of these recently and it arrived quite quickly, nicely packed and when I opened it I found a very nice piece of kit. I got my latest camera out (Canon EOS 550d) and popped it on. Then I tried my trusty old EF 28-80mm. Absolutly fine. Clear, secure and tidy looking. Job done.
Then I decided to try it with my EFS 55-250mm. Oh no! It doesn't work with EFS lenses!
I thought I'd better point this out in my review because there has to be someone else out there who hasn't considered this eventuality. Or is it just me?
Well, I then thought I'd try one more thing and put some extension tubes on with the lense and it worked fine in macro mode. No electronic lense functions of course, but I took a crystal clear picture of the tip of my pencil showing the imperfections in the graphite core which further demonstrated just how good a gadget this is.
Now I just hope the Amazon dealer is kind enough to take it back........

Use with Canon cameras and with a Kenko 1.4X converter
I have used this Kenko 2X teleconverter stacked with a Kenko 1.4X teleplus MC4 teleconverrter to achieve 2.8X magnification with a Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di macro lens. Read more

Good Product
This 2X works well with my Tokina 300 2.8 lens. It does degrade the image by making it a little softer but it really only shows in real prints if the light level is low. Read more

IQ was terrible.
Sorry, the reduction in Image Quality that results from this makes the price just too much to swallow. Read more
