Where to start... I got two on ebay for ~$50 (each, at various times) in the hopes of adding reach while still keeping AF. Well, not so much.
First off, DA* lens won't AF at all. HSM lenses (tried a few) will *try* to focus but will never lock. Screw drive lenses will focus but even a fast 2.8 (now at f/5.6) may focus if it is very bright. I mean burning retina bright.
Also when using screw drive lenses, often some weird non-healty noise was generated.
IQ is pretty bad, it may double the focal length but it screws image quality by 10 folds ... Using my Sigma 35 (in manual focus...) I end up with the IQ of scratched, dirty, misaligned and full of fungus lens.
So in a nut shell, not only it heavily degrades image quality, I'm not even sure it's even safe to use, those grinding/weird noise when paired with a screw drive AF lens are scary.
Save $50 and crop with photoshop, your pictures will look 4 times better any you won't risk damaging your camera/lens. |
