Manufacturer description #1

KENKO AF 1.5X super high quality Teleplus converter has genuine Gate Array IC and compact, light weight and easy handling. Full AF linkage with teleplus is possible with camera lenses with open aperture of F4.5 or brighter (Manual focusing is required when using lenses with smaller open f-stop value than those given above).

Manufacturer description #2

Placed between the camera body and lens, a teleconverter contains a set of optics that will effectively increase the focal length of any lens it is used with. The KENKO Teleplus K1.5 AF converter has the effect of multiplying the focal length of your lens by 1.5x. For example, using the K1.5 AF teleconverter with a 300 mm lens will effectively increase the focal length to 450 mm.

It is an easy and inexpensive way to increase the abilities of your telephoto lens without the expense of purchasing and carrying another telephoto lens. Kenko Teleplus K1.5 is just over an inch thick so it takes up very little room in your camera bag.

The K1.5 AF converter has genuine Gate Array IC (Integrated Circuitry). It means the converter’s unique circuitry maintains signal integrity between the camera body and lens. The 5-element design is made with high quality multicoated optical glass supplied by Hoya Corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of optical glass.

Full AF operation with Teleplus K1.5 is possible with camera lenses with open aperture of F4 or brighter. Please be aware that AF will work properly only if there is enough light and contrast on the subject to activate the camera’s AF sensors. (Manual focusing is recommended when using lenses with smaller open f-stop value than those given above.)
