Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / February 2006Compatible Teleconverter Lens for Canon 350D Rebel XT 8.0
I am new to the Digital SLR world. Recently purchased a Canon 350D Rebel XT 8.0 and need to know what teleconverters are compatible with this camera. Also is the Vivitar 3X that was compatible with the EOS SLR Film Camera, compatible with the Digital camera? Help! >I am new to the Digital SLR world.

More important, you need to know what TCs are compatible with the lenses you intend to use with them AND the body..

I've chosen to use only Canon brand lenses and converters. Canon make 2 that will fit the Rebel XT (or in fact, any EF lens mount): The 1.4x and the 2.0x (the first loses you 1 stop, the 2nd 2 stops). The other side of the equasion though is that not all lenses can be used with the converters eg the 70-200 F2.8L IS USM Can, but the 24-70 F2.8L USM can't - there can also be other restrictions on which AF points can be used for AF etc. Do a spot of googling for the teleconverter compatibility chart.

Excuse me for asking, but your camera has a 1.6x crop factor, and you intend to use a 3x teleconverter? Are the hubble telescope your ultimate goal? ;) But get a decent telephoto lense, and forget about teleconverters. your camera already act like one.

And Some lenses have much more resolution than a 1.6x XT can make use of. The pixel-level detail of current digitals and RAW conversion is not that great, too, and it doesn't hurt to oversample a little bit, but there are limits. Even if the 3x TC were a good 3x, it would take an extremely sharp lens to make it worth losing that much light. And you do lose quite a bit of light using TCs; not just the stops you lose in max aperture, but you also have to increase the shutter speed many times, and stop down a little to get lens sharpness worth magnifying.
