Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 3x DG Teleconverter review

 

If you're looking to extend the maximum focal range of your lenses but don't have the money to spend on a specialist telephoto, a teleconverter is a great alternative.

Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 1.4x converter

 

Tested on Canon EOS 550D with 70-200mm and quite disappointed.

Autofocus works very inaccurate and way too slow; forget action photography ; Often ugly chromatic abberation

Lose of AF & AP Control

 

Lose of AF & AP Control

The pictures results are ok, but you will need to go fully manual when using it. I have a Canon 50D, I lost aperture control and auto focus functionality. A work around is to set the AP before installing the TC... take the lens off while the camera is...

Four star optics with a two star mount

 

Four star optics with a two star mount

While it does perform well optically on my Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 AF lens and a D300, its build quality leaves a lot to be desired....and I do mean a lot. I'm finding what I consider to be too much "play" between the body and converter and (to a lesser...

Cheap POS

This teleconverter is not worth it at all, you'll do better with photoshop. I have a 70-300 VR AF-S lens from nikon that is, while, clearly not top of the line, a nice lens. Unfortunately, the nikon teleconverter won't work with it because the...

Good Optics, Good Compatibility - But A Little Loose

 

Good Optics, Good Compatibility - But A Little Loose

This works with every lens I have (5 Nikon, 1 Tokina, 1 Sigma). The ones whose rear element sticks out need an extension tube to keep from rubbing, and auto-focus is lost with some lenses, but it works. I always keep this in my bag, and often toss it...

Teleplus pro

Bought for use with Nikor D50 body and AF-S Nikor 70-300VR f4.5-5.6 and less important for an AF-S 18-200VR . All functions work well. Auto focus is quick in reasonable light ( where I didn,t need flash) and resolution was as good with the extender...

Quality construction

 

Quality construction

Good quality construction. Photos seem to be focused and crisp. Although the light reduction is noticeable, it is much better than a 2x teleconverter I also own, and is much easier to work with. Be prepared to manually focus on a cloudy day as a...

Great Product for Nikon Camera

This teleconverter is fantastic -- I bought it for a trip to Kenya for my Nikon D200. It allows you to still use all the functionality of the camera -- auto focus, etc. The photos are crisp and clean without distortion even at the "extremes." I got...

3x teleconverter

 

3x teleconverter

The only 3x teleconvertor on the market, get it while you can. Does not work well with all lenses though.

Product Specifications

Placed between the camera body and lens, a teleconverter contains a set of optics that will effectively increase the focal length of a lens by a specific amount. Common magnifications are 1.4 times and 2 times, but the Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 AF converter has a 3x magnification. For example, using a 3 times (3x) teleconverter will increase the focal of 300mm lens to 900mm.The Teleplus PRO 300 converter is made with high quality multicoated optical glass supplied by Hoya Corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of optical glass. The PRO 300 3x is designed for use with lenses of 50mm or above and work best with telephoto lenses of 100mm to 500mm. The PRO 300 3.0x can be used with telephoto zoom lenses as well as prime lenses. However, Kenko does not recommend them for lenses that have a zoom range that starts under 50 mm.KENKO PRO 300 AF Teleplus converters have genuine Gate Array IC (Integrated Circuitry). It means that the converter's unique circuitry maintains signal integrity between the camera body and lens. These converters are designed to electronically operate the same way an original manufacturer's converter would provided there is enough light available.
