3x teleconverters all are unusable, you will use 3 f stop with this converter.Don't wast your time with teleconverters, manual lenses are cheap even if focal length is long. Buy instead a long focal length lens.

Yes, I am even disappointed by my 2x teleconverters!
You have to look for quite a while to find a good one.

I have quite good tele-converters 2x 7 elements converter from Vivitar and Tamron. I used them only ones, lenses with TC more sensitive than double focal length lenses without TC for handshake vibrating. I never tried 1.4x converter perhaps that one is ok.

I have used a 2X on at tair to give up to 800mm on a tripod for some interesting long range night shots and the results are OK at best but not really usable hand held. With it I could see some things not visible with the naked eye. |
