On either my Canon 50D, or 20D, the exposure comp. has to be set back to one stop under. Even then the image is still not as good as a cropped blow-up . I wonder if Canon Teleconverters are any better ? I have an old ‘Televar’ ( Kenko?) 1.7 teleconverter left over from 35mm days.

I noticed that the teleconverters here are the ones attached to the base first.

I would have bought the Nikon model for a lot more bucks but got this due to the price & if I lied it I was planning on the Nikon model but it does the same thing concerning the AF-S function. I would recomend it as it is fun to play with but remember it has its limatations. ps: it does work well with the 50mm Nikor af 1.8 Good evening,I have both the Nikon D40 & D40X,I have the Quantary 2XDG,I have found it disables the AF-S funtion on Nikon lenses,I suspect it disables the VR function as well.I have several non auto focus for these cameras & use the Tele Converter on them.it will cause less light so one will have to adjust arpiture & shuter speed with this accesory.I use the converter mainly out side with camera mounted on a tripod for wild life shots & landscape photos when a “”fast”lens & fast auto focus is not neccesary.

It's not a DSLR but will a teleconverter have the same effect as far as less light being able to enter the camera? I just ordered a package with a teleconverter and a wide angle attachment and I didn't know about this. Will the wide angle have the same effect too? Question…I have a Canon G7.
