I have used it quite a bit with good (not great) results. I have experienced a slight fogginess in the photos. It could be just this particular lens.
It works with my D80's autofocus and has shown me how close I can get to my subject with the digitally corrected zoom of 900 mm (70-300mm lens [1.5 multiplier for a digital SLR] X the 2x converter).
For serious photos, I think that I will need a 1000mm lens without a doubler lens.
Inexpensive and works well [Posted on 2008-05-24]
I was always nervous about using non-Nikon lenses on my D-50 and D-60 cameras. However, I was pleased to find that the Kenko 2X converter really works. Tried it on my Nikon 70-300mm zoom on my D-50; auto-focus works (beyond about 5 feet), does not do too well in a dark environment, does well outside in daylight, great for filling the screen with small objects at 100 feet or more. Took some hand held pictures, balance was good, focus was good, magnification was excellent, needs lots of light at full zoom. Try focusing (auto focus) at lower zoom and re-focusing as zoom is increased. Hope your subjects are cooperative! Good product, great price, works better than the literature claims. A good buy!
Works well, but don't expect alot. [Posted on 2008-06-10]
Does what is promised, but details are slightly fuzzy on magnification and chromatic aboration (ie. purple fringing in contrast areas) is a problem too. Good value for the money, but if these problems are an issue for you , you will have to spend more money.
Cant buy expensive lens [Posted on 2008-06-25]
This converter is ok for recreational photography. The extra glass elements reduces the amount of light - making it difficult to shoot dim light photos. If you cannot afford a 5000 dollar lens then this lens might be a better choice. A good choice for amatures and not good for shooting the moon. I used this converter with a 55-200mm lens on a Nikon D40X SLR.
Don't Buy!!! [Posted on 2008-07-10]
I made the mistake buying the kenko's 2x teleconverter.
It doesn't focus with the Nikon d80 lenses. Don't buy
this item!!! If you do buy it, and you decide to cancel
your order beware, of 15% shipping cancelation, and 15%
if you decide to return it. Amazon sends your order to
the seller right after you place it You can't cancel
from Amazon. Your order place right away. Amazon does
this to a lot of orders. No chance to change your mind.
