Kenko 2x Teleplus Pro 300 DG Autofocus Teleconverter for Minolta Maxxum
The Kenko 2x Teleplus Pro 300 DG converter has genuine Gate Array IC (Integrated Circuitry). It means that the converter's own unique circuitry maintains signal integrity between the digital or photo camera body and lens. These converters are designed to electronically operate the same way as an original manufacturer's converter.
The 2x teleconverter (also known as a tele-extender) will multiply the focal Lent of the existing lens by 2x, and will cut back the amount of light by 2 f/stops. For example, using a 2x teleconverter with a 300mm lens will effectively increase the focal length to 600mm. A lens set to f/2.8 will now be f/5.6.
Teleconverters are best used with longer telephoto lenses and are not recommended for lenses wider than 50mm, e.g. 28-105mm. However, full AF operation is only possible with lenses with open aperture of f/2.8 or brighter. Please be aware that AF will work properly only if there is enough light and contrast on the subject to activate the camera's AF sensors. Manual focusing is recommended when using lenses with smaller open f-stop value than those given above.

Comments about Kenko 2x Teleplus Pro 300 DG Autofocus Teleconverter for Minolta Maxxum:
I bought this teleconverter to use with my 170-500mm zoom lens to get that extra reach when photographing wildlife from the birds in my backyard to the critters at the parks and preserves. When used with my 105mm macro lens I can get more magnification than with the lens alone and this teleconverter has auto focus, which is all the better. I'm very pleased with the quality and performance of the Teleplus Pro 300 DG.
