I've never heard about this specific TC, but I've always heard that
the 1.4x TCs produce acceptable results, while the 2.0x TCs produce soft results. Based on that, I'd guess that a 3.0x TC would produce very soft results. Hope that helps some. -gary http://www.eighteenpercent.net On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 06:15:32 +0100, ".::SuperBLUE::." wrote: Any info about the quality of this teleconverter, please Thanks -gary gmr2048 at yahoo dot com Washington DC, USA http://www.eighteenpercent.net |

I don't know ... Roger Clark has admitted to using stacked 1.4x and 2x
multipliers which would probably be equivalent, and his standards are pretty high. "gmr2048" wrote in message ...

Buyer beware and you get what you pay for kind of stuff. |

Roger Clark has admitted to using stacked 1.4x and 2x multipliers which would probably be equivalent, and his standards are pretty high. I think a lot of it depends upon which end you are stacking from and the quality of the TC. A lot of the fixed lens P&S camera makers offer lens add-ons but they very greatly in their quality and performance. Compare these with the multipliers that DSLR and SLR owners use for doubling their zooms and I think you will find quite a bit of difference in the performance of the two application methods. I recently tried lens stacking with my Panasonic FZ20 and the results were mediocre at best.

Buyer beware and you get what you pay for kind of stuff. I have the Tamron SP 2x, and from what I can see, it is as good as the Canon 2x. It is actually a rebadged Kenko, from what I understand. There is more than one series of Kenko converters; the cheap ones are allegedly just that, and the better ones are excellent. -- John P Sheehy |
