Use too limited for good review

I bought this with the Pro-Optic 500/6.3 lens, and have not used it with any other lens. On an APS-C camera the mirror lens plus the TC gives you 1050mm. Focus, especially in dim light, is almost impossible. Inasmuch as this is a manual device, I haven't tried it on any of my autofocus lenses, and thus can't testify as to its optical quality.

Good value for the money

This converter makes focus a little more difficult in low light, which is no surprise. My camera doesn't register any change in f/stop when I attach it to my 100-300mm f/4 lens.

Great Product

Very well made and very sharp. At a fraction of the cost of a manufacturer's converter, I can't see any difference in the end result; sharp and clear photos.

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.
