Kenko 2X Teleplus - 7 Element DG- Nikon Auto Focus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many an amateur photographer, looking appreciativly at the work of professional wildlife and sports photographers, I had long lusted for the "reach" afforded them by their plus-300mm optics. But not professionally selling my pictures made it economically prohibitive to even consider purchasing anything longer than my Nikkor AF 300 f4.0.
Enter the Kenko Teleplus Pro. For the cost of the converter I now had a 420mm f5.6 AF with no appreciable loss in image quality even shot wide open on my F100. On my D100 the additional 1.5 magnification factor afforded by the sensor size now means I had a 630mm f5.6 AF combination and, since I was only using the central portion of the lenses projected circle, a very sharp optic. This combination has proved to be a real winner for me with AF function preserved (albeit slow) on both bodies (this is the older non-DG model that I have).
Teleconverters are real compromises however, more so I think than any other type of optic. Consequently, when buying one you should really have a specific lens/converter combination in mind and then test out the results.
In general, the Kenko is a professional piece of equipment. Well constructed and with good performance if used within it's design limits
