Default Kenko Pro 1.4

Hi

I'd like to purchase one of these to use with my Tamron 200-500 and my Sigma 180 macro. Comments on use with these lenses would be useful.

Best price (£80.00) appears to be Onestop Digital from Hong Kong, but I have never ordered any equipment this way. Would like to hear from others who have gone down this route.

Many thanks

Stuart R

Kenko is becoming popular. I don't have their extender but their extension ring with electronic coupling for macro is really a gem.
I would think it is not a bad option probably similar to Tamron's glass but would be better to get accurate info from someone who actually owns one.
BTW I did a few purchase directly from Hong Kong and China, through sellers on ebay with good feedback and were happy at the end of every transaction with accepting slight longer shipping, usually in 2-3 weeks range.

Stuart,
Have sent you a PM.
Never had any trouble with any Hong Kong dealers. (Used most of them.)

Hi

Rob - thanks for your PM and the info

Kenny - thanks also and your web page is fantastic. As a relative beginner, the "Basics" and "Photoshop" information will be most useful - now saved as a "favourite"

Cheers

Stuart R
