Re: 1.4x Teleconvertor, Canon vs Kenko

If you are going to get a series II canon lens , the III will work better . BUT it will only fit on some lenses .

The kenko will fit on more and unless you print really big or crop at 50 % or more and or hand hold the kenko is probably OK .

I went with the 2 X III - but I planned on some new lenses [ canon has not updated / up graded the ones I want ]

The 2X III I have SEEMS better than the 1.4 , 2X and 3X extenders I have [ older models ] Depending on why you want the extender - you can add tubes to make the III fit .
