I bought this TC because I could not find a Tamron or Sigma. Later on, I found a Tamron, used it, compared it, and sold the Tamron and kept this TC. It is the same or better and better price.

This converter works just like it should on a pentax k-x with a 300mm lens. Takes a little while to get familiar with it, but works the way you want it to, takes good crisp pictures!

I have it bridging my Pentax K-x and the 55-300mm zoom lens it came with. It's been a permanent fixture since I bought it. I take bird pictures and this helps me get closer to the birds at a much lower price than a 400mm lens. Works best with the sensitivity of the camera cranked up to iso1600 in shutter priority mode with the shutter speed at 1/320th or faster.

This is a good alternative to the others

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 factor of 1.4 times. Pro Optic converters are made with high quality multi coated optics and designed to electronically operate with the camera contacts.. Designed specifically to be used with prime or zoom lenses of 100mm or above. 1.4 will increase a 300mm into 420mm and will decrease the lens with 1 f/stop Focusing manually is recommended when using a lens with a f/stop of f4 or slower. Longer exposures will require a tripod for stabilization.
