Got my attention here, since I have a 75-300 III, and have been
finding out what it can do when it is held really steady, either by me
or the tripod. I just went and looked at the Kenko TC's on B&H, and
wonder which you've used. I see that for EOS, there are 3 TC's: Mc4,
Mc7, and Pro300. Can you comment on these, and which you used? I
understand that the Canon TC's have an element that prohibits their
use with some lenses, and I think that includes the 75-300. What
compatability issues are there with the Kenkos?
Thanks much
Ken
