As a hobbyist this is a great help when that great shot is a little to far.

Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic Multi-Coated 2x Tele-Converter for Canon EOS Autofocus SLR Cameras. (As Reviewed in Shutterbug Magazine - January 2008 - Page 26):
I'm using this with a Canon XSI and Tamron 18-200 lens. Autofocus is fast and very sharp. Surprised me that it was so easy and no adjustments to my camera was needed.
It's a bit longer now and doesn't fit in my case if I leave it on so will have to rework my carry case. No major issue there.
It dropped me a couple stops of light but the camera understood it and I'm still getting nice images which is what's important to me. I try and run higher f-stops for sharper images anyway so it was no loss for me.
Overall with my setup I like it. Very good for the price.

Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic Multi-Coated 2x Tele-Converter for Canon EOS Autofocus SLR Cameras. (As Reviewed in Shutterbug Magazine - January 2008 - Page 26):
I have a canon Xsi and so far have only used the converter w/ a Sigma 70-300mm APO lens. I really does reach out there, but the manual focus w/ THAT lens is hard because it's not very tight. I'm going to have to practice quite a bit. Best shots so far have been w/ a Fstop of 10 or higher to combat the lack of precise focus on my part.
I'm hoping it will work a bit better w/ my Tamron 90mm macro.

Great extender of range for my lenses. I do need to tape the contacts on my camera to disable the autofocus features when using my Pro-Optic 500 mm lens as a 1000 mm lens. The camera will not take a picture otherwise. This is not really a problem though.

brings things close, but focus is not the greatest, sometimes it's "hit or miss". the best thing about digital photography is you can shoot "lots" and pick the best ones.

I had been using a Olympus 570UZ with a 20X Zoom.
I am now using a Canon SXI with a 70-300usm,is lens which falls short. I bought the 2X tele converter hoping to close the gap, but it didn't make it. The converter is fine I was just praying for a miracle.

Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic Multi-Coated 2x Tele-Converter for Canon EOS Autofocus SLR Cameras. (As Reviewed in Shutterbug Magazine - January 2008 - Page 26):
It did the job of bringing in the distant image but required manual focusing and that is a drawback when shooting a subject in motion that changes distance from the camera.

Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic Multi-Coated 2x Tele-Converter for Canon EOS Autofocus SLR Cameras. (As Reviewed in Shutterbug Magazine - January 2008 - Page 26):
For the money this is a great converter. I use it with my Canon 70-200f/2.8L lens and get great results. I have the Canon 1.4 converter and notice only slightly better quality with the Canon product than this converter. This converter was a great addition to my telephotos, making my 70-200 essentially a 140-400 on my Canon cameras. Unless you need absolutely the best image quality you can possibly get this converter will be fine for all your needs. Autofocus was still fast and accurate using the converter, with only slightly noticeable lag compared with the lens alone. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable converter to add to your lenses.
