Anyone used the Kenko 1.5x teleconverter?

Vulpix0r · 16th January 2005

The price now is pretty low at BHPhoto.com, so I was wondering if this is a good buy? I'm going to be putting this together with my Tokina 80-200 f2.8, and a user has reported that it works well with it, but would like to ask if anyone has any opinions on it.

Kenko is good. Maybe built quality is not up to par to the Canon and Nikkor equivalent but that's about it.

Am I better off getting the Teleplus Pro 300 version of this 1.5x version?? It's a huge price difference...

Which is better then? Kenko or Tamron 1.4. Thinking of getting a TC soon.
