For those times that you need extreme reach of a distant subject, Kenko offers the Teleplus Pro 300 3x DG teleconverter, designed to give optimal results with fixed focal length lenses of 100mm or more.

Corner resolution is stellar and deterioration of light is kept to the absolute minimum. Due to the 3 stop light loss inherent in a 3x converter, Kenko PRO 300 3.0X has no AF capability. The lens must be focused manually.

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.

Note! Kenko does not recommend these converters for lenses that have a zoom range that starts under 50mm.

DG Upgrade
This DG teleconverter has upgraded "Gate-Array IC" circuitry to work better with digital SLR's and some of the digital SLR lenses*. This means that the converter's unique circuitry maintains signal integrity between the camera body and lens.
Multicoated
The Teleplus PRO 300 converter is made with high quality multicoated optical glass supplied by Hoya, the world's largest manufacturer of optical glass. All elements are multicoated on each surface.
Magnification 3x
Lens Elements/Groups 7/4
Length 2.6" (67mm)
Diameter 2.7" (68mm)
Weight 7 oz (200 g)

    I purchased this unit but I'm having problems with focusing. I'm going to try to get happy with it but I may return it.

        I use it between my Nikon D300 and a 70-300mm VR lens and the results are very pleasing. Of course
        the sun has to be out that day to provide the much needed light to compensate for the lost 3 stops.
        Don't beleive the the nay sayers just get one and enjoy it!

          Comments about Kenko PRO 300 3x DG Teleconverter for Nikon AF Lenses:

          Because it's a 3x converter and there is 3 stops of light loss, using this with a long AF lens requires manual focus. Slso, switch to spot or center-weighted metering and check your shot, you may need to dial in some EV or manually set your exposure. But, when you really need the reach, this will do the trick.
