Description
Kenko AF 1.5x Super High Quality Teleplus converter also has genuine Gated Array IC and is compact for light weight and easy handling. Full AF is capable with lenses having a maximum aperture of F/4.5 or brighter. (Manual focusing will be required with lenses of smaller aperture.)Placed between the camera body and lens, a teleconverter contains a set of optics that will effectively increase the focal length of a lens by a specific amount. Common magnifications are 1.4 times and 2 times, but the Kenko teleplus PRO 300 AF converter has a 3x magnification. For example, using a 2 times (2x) teleconverter will increase the focal of 300mm lens to 600mm. The Teleplus PRO 300 converters are made with high quality multi-coated optical glass supplied by Hoya Corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of optical glass. These glass elements are designed to match the optical quality of the prime lens (even at the edges) and telephoto zoom lenses. The optical design of the elements and light path is wide enough not to cause vignetting. The PRO 300 family is designed specifically to be used with prime telephoto lenses of 100mm or above, such as, a 300 mm f/2.8 lens, and work best with telephoto lenses of 200mm to 500mm. The PRO 300 can be used with telephoto zoom lenses as well as prime lenses. However, Kenko does not recommend them for zoom lenses that have a range starting under 50 mm.
Strengths: Size, build quality, sharpness, price.
Weakness: None so far - would have liked it to have been 1.7X...
I have been looking for a solution to some of the more expensive lenses for my new Nikon D200 when I came upon this third party alternative. The Nikon equivelent is at least 3 X as expensive, with the same image quality. Added bonus is that you retain both the Nikon's Auto Focus (AF)functions as well as the VR function on the 70-200, 200-400, and other VR capable Nikon lenses. Great value for the...

Kenko TC Pro 300 1.4X
Strengths: Light, compact, good resolution, AF compatibility with Nikon Digital SLRs and DX lenses, minmal loss of 1 step.
Weakness: Auto exposure lever rattles, results in warmer color instead of neutral, data does not reflect effective focalength, dislike the grinding noise and rubbing feel during attachment to the cameras.
It works well with D70, D100 and D200. Compatible with DX 18-70, DX 55-200, DX 70-300, DX 18-200 and all my other Nikkor and Tamron lenses. AF is accurate and the required minimum f2.8 is not neccessary. It works well even at f5.6. The exposure is a bit warmer, slight adjustment to white balance might be required if you want accurate tone level. The rattling (due to auto shutter lever) and...
