  • Kenko 2X Teleplus MC7 AF

    7 out of 10 points and recommended
    price
    not as good as the pro line up

    The MC7 2X TC is the middle level TC made by Kenko. This unit is by far sharper than the MC4 and is not that far off of the PRO lineup. With a modest price increase over the MC4, this item is attractive foe the casual or amature photographer that is looking for some reach and can not afford the pro line-up.

    My copy of the MC7 works quite well on all my lenses and while i do see some sharpness loss, its not exaggerated as you get with lesser TC's. By adding a 2X to most lenses, you now need a lot of light and good contrast to make the AF work.

    Over all I am pretty happy with my purchase and have used it for 4 years.
