 disappointed October 21, 2008

Just got this in the mail today and tried to put it on my Rebel XSI. Fits the camera but not my EF-S lens. After reading the instructions found out I can not use it. It does not work with Canon EF-S lenses. No where in the description does it say you cannot use the EF-S lenses or EOS lenses. It does say it on the box when you get it but it is too late. I will be sending it back.
 Good concept but need tripod October 9, 2008
Brian J. Coleman (Pine Ridge ,Florida)
After several days of research as to whether I would go with a more expensive tele photo lens or the Teleconverter, I decided I would try the latter. I tried using the 2x freehand and was sadly disappointed. I do not have the steadiest hands and when reviewing pictures I had taken of my sons football game I noticed all but a few were blurry and out of focus. I tried it on AF and MF and still the same outcome. However, when I put my Canon on a tripod and took pictures on MF I had better luck. I love the advantage the 2x gives in getting closer to the action I just wish it were easier to use without the tripod. The company I dealt with was excellent and gave great and prompt service.
 A good converter when you don't own the expensive Canon Lenses June 16, 2008

I was very nervous about ordering this. I have a Canon Rebel XTi with two zoom lenses: a wide angle zoom and a tele zoom. Both are auto-focus and image stabelized (IS) lenses that I am most happy with. br / br /However, the really expensive ones that have the matched tele converters are way out of my price range; so both of these are the less expensive (about 1/3 the cost of Canon's best lenses). So I knew I couldn't get any sort of teleconverter that would allow me to have the auto-focus and the IS capabilities; but I really wanted to be able to double my tele zoom for selected shots on our upcoming Kenya safari. br / br /I stewed for a couple of months over this. I didn't (and don't) mind not being able to use the auto-focus or IS (though I sort of hoped I could find something that might let use the auto-focus capability). br / br /I came upon this teleconverter browsing throught Amazon.com and read the specs. I reserched it a bit and was encouraged by the ability to use the auto-focus for at least some of the zoom levels. I also loved the price (though in the back of my head I was reminding myself of the old addage "if it seems to be too good to be true; then it probably is"). br / br /Given the excellent price, I took a chance and went ahead and ordered it. It arrived promptly and I "took it out for a spin" the last couple of weekends at our local zoo. And I am most impressed with it. It does, indeed, allow me to use the auto-focus for all but the highest zoom levels and the pictures, as far as I can tell, are terrific. I would caveat that assessment, however, by saying that I am definitely just an amature that those with more discriminating eyes may beg to differ. I would promptly yield to their assessment; but for my purposes, this has turned out to be just what I needed and I am most satisfied with it.
