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.
Features:
Carefully positioned lens release mechanism makes it easy to
mount the extender quickly, reducing the time the camera and lens are exposed
to the environment.
Integrated processor communicates between camera and lens
and ensures all focusing, metering and ID information is available.
All optical elements use Canon's Super Spectra coating,
reducing ghosting and flare.
Fluorine Coating on the front and rear elements keeps
soiling, smears, and fingerprints to a minimum.
Sealed to be resistant to both dust and water, allowing
photographers to use them in extreme shooting conditions.
Maximum Aperture with the Extender - When the Extender EF1.4X III is attached,the lens maximum aperture will be smaller (darker) by 1 stop, with Extender EF2.0X III, the maximum aperture will be smaller by 2 stops. In any case, the camera will compensate the exposure automatically
Panel Features:
