 canon extender won't interface with Tamron lens used on Canon 30D July 12, 2007
1 out of 42 found this review helpful
How disappointing! I expected the Canon 1.4x extender would fit my Canon 30D with Tamron 18-200 lens which I have used with 2 Canon cameras but alas the mount for the lens has a part sticking out so that the Tamron which fits on Canon camera won't fit on Canon extender lens. It seems it will only fit with a Canon fixed focal length lens. Would be nice if the ad makes that clear before ordering.
 None of my Canon lenses would fit! July 5, 2007

Something I really wanted, to extend the range of my Canon 70-300mm lens for use in zoo photos, nature, etc. Well, it fit the camera body just fine, but would not fit ANY of my Canon lenses that I had for my (former) Digital Rebel or my (new) 30D. What? So what Canon cameras does it fit? So I had to send it back. I even double checked the 'compatibility' of the extender from previous reviews on Amazon, and double checked them against Canon's own site. My lenses included the 'standard' 17-58mm, 10-22mm, 100mm Macro, and 70-300mm Zoom. NONE of these lenses would attach to the front of the 1.4 extender. Why was the front of the extender so small, that none of these lenses would connect? Someone made a big mistake in the list of lenses that don't fit. Does it work with L Glass only?
 Pricy but nice June 30, 2007

Be sure the lenses you have will work with the unit. I have seven lenses for my canon and it works only on the 100-400 "L" series. Course I bought it to extend that lens and it does a great job on it. But, it DOES NOT work with the great EF 24-105 f/4.0 'L'lens.
A hex on Canon for not making a lens capability list easily available!
great for an African safari June 20, 2007

If you're going to Africa and want to travel light, this is a great companion for the 300/4 IS lens. As others have noted, the 2X converter reduces contrast and sharpness so much that you are better off cropping at home. The 300/4 plus 1.4X converter still enables good autofocus, a reasonably bright viewfinder, and pictures with good punch and sharpness. The 420mm reach is about right for large animals with a full-frame camera and almost long enough for bird photography with the Canon Digital Rebel.
Worth every cent! June 14, 2007

On an EF 500mm f4L IS lens, this has to be the ultimate bird photographer's choice. Incredibly sharp combination even wide open. Using any EOS camera with a 1.6x factor, you're looking at an (apparent) EFL of 1120mm at f5.6 ! Who needs the 2x converter! It eats its larger brother for breakfast image-wise anyway, is extremely light, and is an optically perfect relation to any L series Telephoto.
Although it is also advertised as being compatible with the long zooms, don't expect quite the same results as you'll get from a prime lens. The images, though still first-rate, do lack a little of the impact by comparison. That aside, I couldn't recommend it highly enough!
