Hello,
I've been using a Kenko 1.4x Pro300 teleconverter with my Canon EF 100-400mm with pretty good results. Today, I had just taken a picture and the lens fell off the converter! Luckily I had the lens firmly in hand and the 30D strapped around my neck.
Checking it out later, I noticed that the release on the converter is very easy to engage--just a slight push on it is enough to release the lens. So I must have bumped into it accidentally and then twisted the lens off by adjusting the tightening ring. I'm thinking of holding the release button in place with a piece of electrician's tape or something.
I've never seen this issue mentioned anywhere. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and how did you resolve it.
Thanks
