HI all,

Wondering what the groups consensus of opinion is on NON Canon extenders
(probably 1.4x), mostly for use with 100-400 lens on an EOS30/Elan 7E, both
as a simple focal length multiplyer for nature shots, or in conjunction
with a 500D close up lens.

I mostly do competition slide work and need to know how they compare to the
Canon under these high enlargement conditions. Or do I need to spend over
twice as much on the real thing? What are the pros & cons?

Also, can anyone confirm for me that with the Canon, I would definitely
lose AF @ 400mm on the EOS30, due to f8 maximum aperture. But that with a
3rd party extender which doesn't report the aperture, I may still retain
workable AF under bright enough conditions, while suffering AF hunting if
conditions are a little duller.

Appreciate any and all input. TIA.

regards,

Norman
