Anybody having problems with Kenko pro 300 dgx Teleconverters and canon lenses? I called some dealers yesterday and they told me Kenko / Tamron has stopped shipping as they are upgrading the designs / manufacturing. Anybody have issues??

Just because they are updating them doesn't mean they have issues!

No issues with my 1.4x and 2.0x DGX TC's, but I'm only using then with Canon EF lenses.
They only work with EF lenses not EF-S lenses as per their website.

Officially they are not compatible with the following lenses.

EF70-200mm F4L IS USM
EF800mm F5.6L IS USM
EF200mmF2.0L IS USM
EF100mmF2.8L Macro IS USM

Try selecting English in the language box at the top right of the page. Of course you didn't say what language you wanted so that may not help you :lol:
