Hey all,

I'm trying to decide whether to get Kenko 2x AF Teleplus DG MC4 Teleconverter or the Kenko Extention Set. The reason I'm taking into consideration the teleconverter is because I already have a 50mm lens with a perfectly working reverse adapter that I've created -- which has pretty much the same effect as an extention set anyway (although of course I'd still prefer the extention tubes over the 50mm).

Basically it's a decision of which would be more useful to buy first. It's not very often I can afford to buy these parts -- so I don't want to make the wrong decision.

Any help much appretiated.

Cheers,

Anyone at all? :confused:
Can someone who has experience with the Kenko 2x teleconverter atleast give an input on how well they perform? Is it better worth my money saving for the canon teleconverter?

Please help... :cry:

Cheers ;)

Anyone...ANYONE at all?! :lol:

It's just... theres an auction on Ebay for the Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 DG 1.4x TC -- right now, good price ...and less than an hour to go!

As far as I know, the TC is able to work with the 100mm USM macro without having to use extention tubes -- but I havent heard yet of anyone using the same combination for macro purposes... I just want to know if there is much quality loss -- and if it'd even be worth getting the TC over an extention set..

Someone PLEAAASeee! :lol:
