Overview
Designed to extend a lenses focal length by a factor of 2x, the redesigned Canon Extender EF 2X III delivers optical performance on par with the finest 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, flare and chromatic aberration, and even has a new Fluorine coating that keeps soiling, smears, fingerprints to a minimum.

- 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
