I only have the 1.4X Kenko Pro 300. Above 1.4X I like to use the 2X GSO Barlow or the DOI 2X teleconverter that I modified. If I had the money I'd probably get the 2X Kenko Pro 300. Teleconverters are well corrected for contrast and colour balance where as the GSO 2X is a little behind. As far as detail goes they are all about the same. Telelconverters are quick to change so you can switch magnification very quickly which is another bonus. If you don't want the magnification from the GSO barlow then you have to unscrew it from the Max DSLR which could result in a missed photo.I'll try and post up some photos tomorrow all taken with different things so you can see the difference. I'll post them all unmodified to give you a good idea of what to expect.Paul.</blockquote>
