Top Rated Gear: Kenko TelePlus MC7 AF 2.0X DGX Teleconverter for Sony Alpha Digital SLRs Compatibility: Sony Alpha / Minolta AF, Magnification: 2x

Took this for a spin in the mountains of Colorado.  Paired it with a Sigma 70-200/2.8 and it focused well with a Sony A77m2.  Liked the reach, but not crazy about the impact on bokeh (made it "busy"), when the 2.8 by itself has nice smooth backgrounds.

Nice reach when used with fast glass.

This is an excellent answer to extending your current lens for that occasional special photo. It does not replace an extended lens for your camera.

Excellent Alternative

Your salesman Larry was most helpful. I haven't had a chance to really use the lens yet.

very helpful

Good quality teleconverter. It is always a little challenge to use a 2X teleconverter due to the loss of 2 stops of light and it requires  some practice to be able to focus correctly. Results are good and quite sharp.

Good item

Fits my Canon EOS Rebel T3 and my 70-300 IS and does what I hoped it would do.  But have also ordered a Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Autofocus lens for Canon EOS Cameras, the MC-7 is "Supposed" to fit.

It drastically reduces your f-stop.  It's buggy, especially with my older 50mm.  Will not allow my newer Nikon 105mm VR autofocus.

Eh, you get what you pay for

I was told it would not work with my Tamron 18-270 lens but it works just fine. Of course it needs support for the camera at long telephoto but this is to be expected. I was surprised at how well the autofocus worked.

Did what I wanted

Just received it 2 weeks ago and have not had much time to test it. However, I took a few pictures at a familiar location and it performed as expected. I am happy with the product.

I was looking to get a bit more zoom out of my 200 mm lens and this did the trick . For the money it is a good lens.

A good choice for my needs

Works great

Used to take pictures of a solar eclipse, the fact that the auto focus would not work with the standard canon EF lenses was disappointing.  Having to manually focus the lens can be difficult, but it behaved as expected.  I used it attached to a 80-200 mm zoom lens.  I am happy with the final output. Image quality did not seem to suffer. I would not use this for fast action or low light when used with a long lens.

Adequate for the job

Since I bought mine I get emails from Adorama asking for feedback to specific info requests, but the link provided doesn't get me to those requests, just to the overall product page. And since I can't reply to the email from Adorama itself, the whole thing "ask a question and a knowlegeable customer will reply" thing is a bit of a joke.
I'm using this item with a Sigma 150-500, itself not the sharpest of lenses (but ok for the price), and with the converter I can't expect tack-sharp pix. Manual focus only, so BIF etc. are tough to shoot. Static objects are best, on tripod with remote release of course. Hope this helps. Recommended within the obvious limitations - don't expect the world.
