Overview

Canon Extender EF 1.4X III

Overview

Extending a lenses focal length by a factor of 1.4x, Extender EF 1.4X III incorporates phenomenal optical performance with minimal chromatic aberration and is a perfect complement to many of Canon super telephoto lenses. It features a built-in microcomputer for seamless communication among camera body, lens and extender; features careful lens placement and coatings to minimize ghosting and flare and even has a new Fluorine coating that keeps soiling, smears and fingerprints to a minimum. An integral part of many professional systems, Extender EF 1.4X III maintains high standards not only optically, but also in terms of rugged, dustproof and water resistant construction.

*1 Data based on EOS models with exposures displayed in 1/2 stop increments. It varies slightly with the EOS-1v, EOS-1N, EOS-1 and EOS-3.
*2 If the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens is attached to an EOS camera having multiple focusing points and an Extender is attached to the lens, only the center focusing point will be usable for AF.
*3 The autofocusing range is from 0.8m/2.6ft. to infinity.
*4 With the EOS-1D series, EOS-1v and EOS-3, AF is possible, but with the center focusing point only.
*5 The Image Stabilizer does not operate with the following cameras: EOS 650, 620, 630/600, RT, 700, 750, 850, EOS-1, A2/A2E, 10s, Elan, Rebel/Rebel S, Rebel II/Rebel SII.

I get very sharp images!
I resisted buying one because of not so hot reviews. Then I learned that pros use them and attribute problems to user error. So, I bought one. I use it mainly for shooting birds with a 5D IV and 100-400 IS II. I have also used it with a 77D. Bear in mind the longer focal length will require a steadier hold and/or higher shutter speed. Autofocus can struggle in low contrast situations. My results improved when I practiced steady holds. The photo below was shot at f/11 & 1/500 handheld. It's also been cropped at least 80%.

Perfect Compliment to 135L
I am using this 2X extender with my 135L, and I must say that after a little micro adjustment of +5, this is incredible! I now have a 270mm f/4 lens, and the images are very, very nice. Wide open (f/4), there is a little softness or dreamy effect, but stopped down to f/5.6, images are extremely sharp and contrasty. Yes, this will enhance any flaw in your lens, but with higher quality lenses, should not be much of an issue. AF is fast, I have not had any problems with its speed or accuracy. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this extender.

wrong tool
Auto focus will not work with Canon 70D and Canon100-400 f.4-f.56 - f stop loss is too much for it to handle. Would have been nice to know requirements before purchase. I have returned for refund.

Great Product
I use the 70-200 F2.8 ISII which is a versatile lens. This gives me another level of versatility and coupled with the 5DMKIII, I still have plenty of light. This is a great option until I can decide on whether the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM with the built-in Extender or the 500mm will be my next lens.

Outstanding addition
Works great on my 500 f4 ii lens. Minor IQ loss, well worth it for the added reach.
H
1.4 Extender
Works great when paired with my 100-400mm and 80d!

Great extender for my needs
Outstanding images with this in conjunction with my 300mmF2.8L. Frustrating that it does not work with the 100-400 F4.5L ll USM, while it did work with the original version of this lens, (although this was not consistent).
C
not for a t6i
this extender did not work with my rebel t6i, my disappointed

Excellent addition.
Using it on my 70-200 IS USM version 2. Was really surprised by how well it works. So glad I spent the extra money. Well worth buying if you have a need for it. Wish I would have had it sooner because of all the pics I took before owning it.
B
Not happy with the autofocus
Not happy with the failure of auto focus while using my EF 100-400 zoom lense. It only works if I use the screen mode instead of the view finder to shoot.
