Sharp Images Rendered With Specified L Quality Zooms and Primes2010-01-11
Like:

- Smaller than the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye USM.
- Solid build.
- Dust and water resistant.
- Drawstring pouch.
- Minor resolution loss on my 70-200/4L IS and 300/2.8L IS (nothing to worry about).
- Maintains autofocus with lenses f/4.0 and faster (this is important to remember).
- Maintains optical image stabilization.



Dislike:

- Extender Cap II (front cap) cannot be used as a camera body cap.
NOT FOR USE WITH CANON 100-400F4.5 IS LENS2009-12-25
CANON DOES NOT STATE CLEARLY THAT THE EXTENDER WILL NOT WORK IN AUTO FOCUS MODE WITH THE CANON 100-400 F/4.5-5.6L IS USM LENS. I BOUGHT THIS EXTENDER UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WOULD WORK.See canon information (This tele extender can be used with fixed focal length lenses 135mm and longer (except the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens), and the EF 70-200 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 70-200 f/4.0L, 70-200 f/4.0L IS USM, and 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS zoom lenses) AS I READ THIS INFORMATION I UNDERSTOOD IT TO MEAN IT WOULD WORK WITH THIS LENS. AM I WRONG?
I TRIED 2 EXTENDERS AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK. EMAILED CANON, HERE IS THEIR RESPONSE

Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and
appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
"Effective aperture is reduced by one f-stop; autofocus is possible on
any EOS camera when combined with a lens having an f/4 or faster maximum
aperture."
Your EF 100-400 is already at F4.5, at its widest.
"This tele extender can be used with fixed focal length lenses 135mm and
longer (except the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens), and the EF 70-200
f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 70-200 f/4.0L, 70-200 f/4.0L IS USM, and
100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS zoom lenses."
This statement is also true, it can be used. However, you will need to
focus manually.You may want to try choosing center point only as a focus
point and see if that will allow the camera to autofocus the lens.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Please let us know if we
can be of any further assistance with your EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
USM .
Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,

THIS STATES THAT AUTO FOCUS WILL NOT WORK!!!!!
Canon 300MM F4= 5 star... Sigma 70-200MM =zero stars2009-11-21
Fortunately my intentions are to use mainly with my canon 300mm f4..I give 5 stars in this regard.The drop off in sharpness is apparent when shooting photos of birds. The plummage/feather detail expose the sharpness drop off slightly. But with regard to sports where eyelash/hair splitting detail is unimportant,I see virtually no difference. Of course you lose one stop of light which is no issue in most daylight situations.

The mount on my Sigma 70-200mm is not compatible with the telextender. The problem is I can't tell you which version. I purchased my sigma lens in 2006..For that year one version was marketed in Feb 2006 another in June 2006..I am assuming this is the problem?? Also I see where another verion was marketed in 2008..I see more than a few reviewers which do not have compatibility problems. But for me i'll give it "0" stars regarding my sigma lens.

Nice addition to my bag of lens. Very compact when you consider it is almost like carrying two telephoto lens instead of one. I gave this product a two star to flag potential buyers of compatibility problems with the Sigma.
Let me comment on the 100-400mm with the 1.4x extender2009-11-06
Don't do it! It sounds just plausible on paper, with a 1D professional camera it'll even autofocus using the central focal sensor (on lesser bodies it won't autofocus unless you tape up some contacts to fool the camera into trying, then it'll sometimes autofocus), and the 1.4x generally doesn't soften images too much. But no. It's not a usable combination on either professional or amateur bodies, the image quality just takes too much of a hit.

The four stars are for using this well built tool with a more appropriate lens, the 70-200mm f/2.8 or any of the telephoto primes. But there are lots of reviews telling you that.
Great addition to the lens2009-10-06
I'm using this with a 70-200 2.8L IS USM lens and it works great. Fast focusing, great alternative to another lens. The only downside is the loss of an f-stop.

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has its pros and cons VHS The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
