Having tried both on this lens I would stick to a 1.4x. You lose AF of course with either, so you need a good eye for MF https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

Seems a good majority on many forums say to go with the Tamron 1.4, but do i go with the regular 1.4 or the pro 1.4? Seems to be appx. $100 diffence, but is there a $100 in quality? Ben

I have read this on lots of US Forums and so I have been looking for one myself. They do not seem readily available in the U.K. The other option is apparently the Kenko 1.4 pro. www.pbase.com/snapz
