Teleconverters are a helpful piece of gear to extend the reach of your lens. Prime lenses are in most cases the best lenses to use with teleconverters as primes are normally sharper than zoom lenses. The drawback is that teleconverters tends to soften the image in addition to the fact that you will loose a step or two of light (depending on the magnification of the converter). Also the autofocus tends to slow down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To make a long story short: I have to admit that I have always been a bit skeptical to teleconverters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of all these factors, I was very excited when I tried out the 300mm with the MC 14 teleconverter (1.4x magnification). How would it perform?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result was way above what I expected. The AF was fast and accurate and the images of this Eurasian jay turned out to be tack sharp!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From now on teleconverters will always have a place in my photo bag!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
