Kenko TelePlus MC4 AF 1.4X DGX Teleconverter
The Kenko TelePlus MC4 AF 1.4X DGX Teleconverter gives you the dramatic effect of increasing the focal length of your lens by 1.4x. The MC4 features a 4-element, 4-group design with multi-coated lens elements, and fully automatic diaphragm coupling. With the Kenko TelePlus MC4 DGX your prime lens' depth of field is reduced by 1/1.4, but retains the prime minimum focusing distance.
TelePlus converters have genuine Gated Array IC. This means that not only do they own data but all data sent from the camera body provide full exposure metering and electronic flash photography.

Comments about Kenko TelePlus MC4 AF 1.4X DGX Teleconverter:
Got this for the occasional wildlife shot that happens infrequently enough that I can't justify carrying a 500mm lens. Haven't tried with all lens/camera combinations but the Kenko is light and attaches solidly with no "looseness" at either connection. Works smoothly with autofocus. Image seems crisp. Unit feels solid and durable.

Comments about Kenko TelePlus MC4 AF 1.4X DGX Teleconverter:
I have used this product on a Nikon D700 with the following lenses: Nikon 70-300mm, Sigma 150-500, Nikon 85mm f:1.8 and Nikon 50mm f:1.8, mostly for wildlife photos. Very small, hardly noticeable deterioration of image quality. Autofocus may become difficult in the long focal lengths since maximum aperture will be higher than f:8, but still works in good light; this is not a problem with the teleconverter but a limitation of the autofocus system. It doesn't seem very strongly built but that is a subjective evaluation. Objectively, once attached with the lens the fitting is a bit loose and some rotation movement is still present; the electronic contacts work well but it makes me wonder how long it will last.

a much better choice than the nikon converter. it can be used on any nikkor lens, including AF-D and AF-S, or AI. Image quality is quite good, beyond my expectation. build solidly to insure safety.i like it.

Comments about Kenko TelePlus MC4 AF 1.4X DGX Teleconverter:
Amateur wildlife photographer needed just a little bit. So much of wildlife photography is fast action. No time to set up the tripos, can not use a 2.0 Teleconverter and hand hold it. So, this 1.4 makes up the difference. With IS still working with the Kenko, hand holding the camera is still possible. Especially when rapid fire is used. There might be some shots that are blurry, but also some that are clear.
