from Lódz, Poland Date Reviewed: September 6, 2001 Strengths: 1) a relatively inexpensive way of getting an extra lens double the original focal length, with image quality higher than achievable by blowing up and cropping the frame 2) full AF and TTL metering linking for all Nikon users 3) quite good image quality in the centre, corners improve when the lens is stopped down 4) with the Tamron 70-300 LD it compensates the lens's pincushion distortion and produces effectively rectilinear images 5) Quite fast focusing and good image quality with the AF Nikkor 1.8/50 when stopped down two stops Weaknesses: The 2-stop light loss is bearable with a fast lens, but with a slow telezoom such as the Tamron 70-300 F4-5.6 one gets a 140-600 F8-11 which requires stopping down one or two more stops to obtain better image quality. At 600mm the shutter speed should be at least 1/1000s to avoid blurring. Now, to shoot at 1/1000s (or preferably even faster) at F16 or F22 requires very bright light and fast, grainy films. Thus, the combination of a slow telezoom and the Kenko, although capable of producing images of at least acceptable quality, is highly impracticable. When used with the AF Nikkor 1.8/50 produced soft corners when wide open, but improved much when stopped down 2 stops. Produced reasonable-quality images with a Russian 300mm F4.5 (Tair3) lens wide open and improved when stopped down, but again stopping down the already slow (F9) combination is impracticable With the Tamron lens AF is both quite precise and relatively fast in bright light at shorter focal lengths, and bearable, despite the effective aperture of F11, at the long end, but is unreliable and hunts a lot when the light and contrast are low. With the AF Nikkor 1.8/50 the AF sometimes drives the lens very fast beyond the Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 21+ years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: secondhand (>$200 ne Similar Products Used: Vivitar 2x-3 (MF) - VERY unsharp except in the centre with any lens when wide open, a bit better when stopped down Russian 2x, 5-element (MF)- just a little bit less sharp than the Kenko MC7, but v Type of photography: Other
