Canon EF 2X II Extender Telephoto Accessory
I was completely blow away by the quality of the resultant images. ... Yes, I lost 2 f-stops, but I gained twice the reach of the telephoto, and a doubling of the macro. ... And I liked it. ... My 180 mm 1x macro is now a 360 mm 2x macro. ... Cool!
Very Impressed [Posted on 2008-04-24]
I was very impressed with this Canon 2x extender. I use it with my Canon 70-200 2.8 IS lens. I previously used a Kenko Pro 300 2x and it was OK but the Canon unit is significantly sharper. Autofocus is fast and accurate - I hardly know the extender is on the lens (other than the length and weight).
A great accessory. [Posted on 2008-05-02]
It can allow for outstanding results otherwise unattainable without the really big budget glass. I use it exclusively on my 300mm 2.8L IS and couldn't be happier with the results. I also use that set-up nearly 100% of the time hand held for birds in flight/wildlife.
When all is said and done I'd have to say it comes close to the best $275 I've spent on photo related accessories.
Will not work wih Telescope T-ring [Posted on 2008-06-05]
This is not a complaint. But, the Extender will not work as a 'doubler' or Barlow to a telescope like the Meade LX200 series.
I can easily attach my Canon Rebel with a T-ring but the Extender seems to require a lens that it is compatable with. You can't go Camear/Extender/T-ring/Scope.
Canon never said or implied that it could so I am not complaining. It works great with all my Canon lens.
Autofocus does not work with XTi body! [Posted on 2008-07-16]
I did not find any information regarding the incompability between the Extender and my XTi body. According to email received from canon it really do not work.
Be careful before you buy it!
