TELEPLUS HD pro series will come to replace long seller TELEPLUS PRO300 series with redesigned optics to fit contemporary high-resolution DSLR cameras and lenses.

The external design has been retouched in a black leather tone finish to perfectly match with the latest lenses and DSLR cameras.
With approx. 2 cm in height for the 1.4x type and 4cm for the 2x type these small, compact and convenient to carry tele converters will extend the focal length of the lens providing the photographer a great chance to shoot impressive images.

This result can be achieved by simply using this lightweight and compact tele converter even if you do not have or cannot afford a good and powerful super tele lens. The optical construction has been redesigned by implementing additional optical elements and incorporating an improved multi-layer anti-reflection coating to keep the original performance of the new generation DSLR cameras and lenses.

Manufacturer description #3
Kenko TELEPLUS HD pro 2x DGX is a teleconverter designed to make images more impressive by turning your master lens into a tele lens and showing the object closer on your camera sensor.
By installing it between the lens and the camera body, Kenko TELEPLUS HD pro 2x DGX increases the effective focal length of your lens by 2x.
Made with a high level of precision in Japan and is compatible with a wide range of genuine cameras and lenses, it is particularly helpful for those professional photographers as well as amateurs who may need a tele lens but feel no reason to purchase a new expensive one due to low frequency of use.

A most valuable accessory to shift your photos on a new level of creativity and in the most convenient way.
Note: Kenko TELEPLUS HD pro DGX teleconverters are compatible only with proprietary lenses (Nikon and Canon) and Tokina lenses (except for Tokina AT-X 70-200 F4 FX VCM-S and opera 50mm F1.4 FF Nikon mount). Other manufacturers' lenses and camera models, or side-party adapters, are not supported.

Precautions
- Turn off the optical correction functions, Vibration Reduction (VR) or Image Stabilizer (IS) functions, focus aid assistance and AF micro adjustment functions before using Kenko TELEPLUS teleconverter.
- Proper work and accuracy of AF mode may be achieved when the lens has a resulting aperture* of f/5.6 or faster. If the resulting aperture is greater than f/5.6 then manual focus is strongly recommended.
* resulting aperture = wide open aperture value of the master lens x magnification of the lens converter.
