I guess the question is…”how does it smoke?” Appologies…(line from Dances with Wolves referring to new pipe carved by John Dunbar) I have this condition that causes me to recite phrases from films when vaguely appropriate to the conversation in progress. I should take medication for it.
Have you used it yet? How does it perform?
Teleconverters work best in moderation (1.4x not so 2x) and when used with a prime lens.
However they can still perform well with a good zoom lens, but in my experience they do magnify (1.4times) any inherent flaws in the lens …..usually around the edges. A post process crop can remove any peripheral abnormalities and actually give you a bit more effective enlargement of the centre sweet area in the process.
Edit….I am pretty convinced it WAS the Kenko that rattled.
Does it still rattle when attached to the lens before affixing to camera…….and conversely, does it rattle when affixed to the camera body…with or without lens attached? I have a vague recollection it was the locking mechanism that secured it to one or the other parts …that stopped moving when fixed.
OR it might be the contact pins…which again would not move when mounted? Lord, my memory getting bad!!
