This review is from: Tamron SP AF 1.4x Pro Teleconverter for Canon Mount Lenses (Electronics)

If you need an extremely high quality product, this is the one for you...I can't imagine that the canon version would be any better...Images are clear and sharp, just as sharp as the lens without the converter...I got this from 17th street photo at less than 170.00...a great price and delivery was ground, (in two days.) Their service is great...I use the converter on the canon 50mm 1.8 and 70/200 f4 L IS....amazing clarity and magnification...I'm extremely pleased with this purchase.

I was advised to buy this product from a PRO photographer and I'm very happy about it's performance... He said it works as good as the Canon model if not better... It was cheaper in price and I'm very happy with it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Teleconverter and my Canon 70-200 f/4 L, July 13, 2009

This review is from: Tamron SP AF 1.4x Pro Teleconverter for Canon Mount Lenses (Electronics)

I attached the teleconverter to my Canon 70-200 zoom lens and Canon 30D camera. The fit of the teleconverter to the lens and camera seemed good.
I took a number of test pictures at different zoom settings which looked good on my PC. Also, the camera EXIF data showed the resulting focal length and f stop. For example when the lens f stop was set to f/4 the EXIF data showed a f stop of f/5.6 which is the correct f stop for the combination.

The lens was fine and somehow survived the poor shipping package - the teleconverter box was inside a slightly higher, and much wider and longer box so it was free to slide back and forth. (There was no additional cushioning material.) Once upon a time I was a shipping clerk for a stationery store & I would have packed a $5 glass paper clip holder better than the lens was packed.
