Item came earlier than promised from shipper. excellent shape and brand new as promised. Took with me this past weekend to D.C. for a photo shoot. Worked really great. Clear lens and solid construction. Only problem, when shooting in low light hard to get good white balance.
Overall well satisfied with product.

Just got this in the mail today and tried to put it on my Rebel XSI. Fits the camera but not my EF-S lens. After reading the instructions found out I can not use it. It does not work with Canon EF-S lenses. No where in the description does it say you cannot use the EF-S lenses or EOS lenses. It does say it on the box when you get it but it is too late. I will be sending it back.

After several days of research as to whether I would go with a more expensive tele photo lens or the Teleconverter, I decided I would try the latter. I tried using the 2x freehand and was sadly disappointed. I do not have the steadiest hands and when reviewing pictures I had taken of my sons football game I noticed all but a few were blurry and out of focus. I tried it on AF and MF and still the same outcome. However, when I put my Canon on a tripod and took pictures on MF I had better luck. I love the advantage the 2x gives in getting closer to the action I just wish it were easier to use without the tripod. The company I dealt with was excellent and gave great and prompt service.

I was very nervous about ordering this. I have a Canon Rebel XTi with two zoom lenses: a wide angle zoom and a tele zoom. Both are auto-focus and image stabelized (IS) lenses that I am most happy with.
However, the really expensive ones that have the matched tele converters are way out of my price range; so both of these are the less expensive (about 1/3 the cost of Canon's best lenses). So I knew I couldn't get any sort of teleconverter that would allow me to have the auto-focus and the IS capabilities; but I really wanted to be able to double my tele zoom for selected shots on our upcoming Kenya safari.
I stewed for a couple of months over this. I didn't (and don't) mind not being able to use the auto-focus or IS (though I sort of hoped I could find something that might let use the auto-focus capability).
I came upon this teleconverter browsing throught Amazon.com and read the specs. I reserched it a bit and was encouraged by the ability to use the auto-focus for at least some of the zoom levels. I also loved the price (though in the back of my head I was reminding myself of the old addage "if it seems to be too good to be true; then it probably is").
Given the excellent price, I took a chance and went ahead and ordered it. It arrived promptly and I "took it out for a spin" the last couple of weekends at our local zoo. And I am most impressed with it. It does, indeed, allow me to use the auto-focus for all but the highest zoom levels and the pictures, as far as I can tell, are terrific. I would caveat that assessment, however, by saying that I am definitely just an amature that those with more discriminating eyes may beg to differ. I would promptly yield to their assessment; but for my purposes, this has turned out to be just what I needed and I am most satisfied with it.
