Hi all,
I was after some advice and any opinions with the use of a 1.4x teleconverter. As im on a low budget, obtaining lenses & telescopes for every occassion is, well, virtually Life Threatening : )
I now am contemplating on purchasing a 1.4x converter for my 600D, primarily with the Canon 70-200 F2.8 non IS 'L' Lens effectively giving it a 280mm F/L, good for astro and terrestrial situations !
I realise that the appeture will forceably be reduced by one stop, hence why only interested in the 1.4x, as the 2x will have a 2 stop reduction, ok for terrestrial, but not so kind for astro !
Advice is mainly needed to determine quality for value, though any other advice welcome ?
I also intend on trying the 1.4 with the 8" F/4, could be interesting, though Im not sure what a one stop difference would turn the F/4 ratio to ? ? Any ideas there also welcome ?
Here are a couple of links : Cameras Direct have a couple of brands, maybe cheap and nasties ?
And Links to the Canon brands, Cheers !
