Hi everyone.
Anyone had experience with the Kenko Pro 1.4x and the Canon EF 70-300 IS lens.
I have read so many reviews, it sounds like the Kenko will work reasonably well with the 70-300 IS, but, I have read some reviews that still cause me to have some doubts. I'm on the verge of ordering one but still hesitate and hope some of you with some experience can allay those last niggling doubts.
I already know that I will lose 1 stop of light, not concerned.
I have seen images of different lens using the Kenko, some are great others no so great. I am not concerned about getting tack sharp images.
I am currently using a 500mm mirror lens for distance, but, find it is limited as it does not have zoom capability, which is something I really do want and need for the areas that I shoot in. Other than that I am pretty satisfied with the mirror lens.
I have looked at the 70-200 f2.8 lenses and they will not meet my needs. The L series lenses are not even a consideration at this time.
Sounds like auto focus will work in good light but am not that concerned about it.
I posted a couple of images below that I captured with the mirror.
Brown Thrasher at about 15 feet.
Goose 30-40 feet, both hand held, with a Canon T1i.
Do you think the Kenko will produce an image close to the quality of these?
