Canon EF 1.4x II Lens

Having just switched DSLR systems from the Nikon line, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of this converter. I have used third party converters in the past with mediocre results. The Canon converter gave me tack sharp images as if I were shooting through a primary lens. By utilizing the 1.4X converter in lieu of the 2X model, you only loose one f-stop of light, which allows you to use slower lenses and still obtain sufficient light to get the shot. I used the converter with a Canon 80-400mm EF IS Lens. In the full telephoto setting, to get the best results I had to switch to manual focusing, as the auto focus could not maintain connection with the subject due to the f: 8 aperture. This was a small price to pay for the additional magnification obtained through the use of the converter. I would recommend this to any Canon user looking to get a longer focal range from the lenses already owned. Note: Check with the Canon website to be sure your lens is capable of being used with this accessory. Not all lenses will work, especially wider zoom and fixed lenses.

This is possible the best quality teleconverter I have ever owned. You pick it up and you can feel the heavy glass inside. You mount it on your lens and you can see the quality of this Canon EF 1.4X Extender II. It is Canon's L series and only teleconverter. In my opinion, the absolute best teleconverter money can buy for your Canon EOS DSLR system.. by far...
