I don't know about the Kenko, but I bought the digital concepts 2x teleconverter . $65 on ebay. Received it today. I only tried it very briefly to make sure it worked. With my Tamron 28-300 (f3.5 - 6.3) I can still use autofocus even at the highest zoom apparently.

I have only taken a couple of test shots indoor that didn't turn out very good . There was noticeable blur on the pics taken at 600mm (300x2) vs 300mm with the lens alone, even at 1/180 with the built-in flash. This could well be due to autofocus just getting it wrong with the TC. No doubt I will experiment some more and with other lenses and manual focus.

I wanted the TC mostly for sky shots, in particular to get the moon to fill the frame - 300mm was still too small for my taste. If it can get me more detail on the surface of the moon, then I will be happy with the amount I spent.
