Teleconverters (Extenders) for Canon EF 75-300mm 4-5.6 III suggestions ?

I have a Canon EF 75-300mm 4-5.6 III Zoom and would like to give it more power. I can't afford a bigger zoom so does anybody have any suggestions for a Teleconverter (Extender) , say 1.4X or 2X I could use to add on to the lens. There are a lot of brands out there (Canon, Bowers, etc.) and I need something that won't "break the bank" .....Thanks !

That's a mid grade consumer lens which won't go well with a TC. ANY TC will hurt or kill the AF speed & soften the images when shooting stills & I doubt it could even capture action. Start researching better & more suitable lenses to match what you need for those longer shots & put that money into the pile as you learn.

  • What's the best Telephoto Zoom lens for canon rebel T3??

    Hi, i have a canon rebel t3 and i want a telephoto lens , but i don't know which lens to take between Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM and Canon EF-S IS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II, I generally like to shoot street, abstract and nature photos and I'm not sure which lens is going to be more suitable to my needs...

    Vasanthkumar and Sami:
    There are actually 3 lenses that are pretty similar in range and price:  the 55-250, the 70-300 and the 75-300.  Of the 3, the 75-300 is rated poorest quality.
    Here is a tool that lets you compare image quality between 2 lenses.  You can even see them at different lengths and at different apertures.
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx
    And here are reviews of all 3 lenses:
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-70-300mm-f-4-5.6-IS-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-75-300mm-f-4-5.6-III-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-S-55-250mm-f-4-5.6-IS-Lens-Review.aspx
    Among the 3, I would choose the 70-300 IS.  It has Image Stabilization, and for the price it really has good image quality.
    My 2nd choice would be the 55-250 IS.  Same reasons as above.  I actually owned this lens for a while, and it was indeed capable of taking a sharp picture.
    I personally would not go with the 75-300.  No IS, for one thing.  More importantly, it is not very sharp according to reviews.  The small price savings vs. the 2 better lenses would not be worth it to me if all my photos suffered noticably. 
    To quote the review above on this lens, "If you care about great image quality and sharp photos, the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Lens is not for you. And Photoshop cannot enhance details that are not there."
    Good luck!

  • Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

    Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?
    Stephanie

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

    It requires the Canon Hacker's Developement Kit (CHDK). It runs off of your SD card and does not harm your camera. Download a program called Stick-

    Follow the directions and you will be able to shoot in RAW along with some other deatures not available on your camera previously.

  • Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

    I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

    Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
    Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
    Waiting for response from Topaz labs

  • Where can I download ICC profile for Canon paper?

    Hi,
    I bought a new MacBookPro and suddenly the ICC profiles that used to be in my Canon Pixma Pro 10 are missing.  I'm specifically looking for: Canon luster, platinum, museum etching.  Can anyone point me to the right direction please?  Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem.  I had previously printed on my new Canon Pixma Pro 10 to Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster from my MacBook Pro retina running 10.10.3.  I upgraded to Lightroom 6.  Now I do not have the ICC profile for the luster paper available under Color Management in LR6.  I downloaded and reinstalled the print driver but that didn't give me the profile.  All of the ICC profile downloads that I can find are for other vendors' papers.  The link in ssprengel's post takes me to the driver download page but it doesn't give me the Canon paper ICC profiles. Help.

  • Error Message B200 for Canon Pixma MG5320

    I have an error message B200 on my Pixma MG5320 that says "Unplug power cord and contact service center."  I'm more than 100 miles from my nearest Canon service center.  Any fix for this error message other than to buy a new printer?  With the price of gas, driving 200 miles round trip to fix the printer really isn't feasible.  Thanks!

  • Please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera

    please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera
    Thank you

    Hi, rich_fred.
    As the Canon G15 is a very new model, support is not yet available through Camera Raw. In the meantime, try out the software that came with you camera, to see if it can export a TIF or JPEG, which should open up in Photoshop just fine.
    Hopefully support for the G15 will be available in the next Camera Raw update. You can find a list of supported cameras here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html

  • Need to see raw thumbnails for Canon 5D MkIII

    Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I want to stay with this version of the OS!!
    All cameras up until the new Canon 5D MkIII were showing thumbnails images of RAW photos in the FINDER.
    Now there is generic icon and no thumbnail. I need to use the finder for sorting and previewing RAW images.
    Is this a ploy to force upgrading to the buggy later version of the OS?
    I like 10.6.8 better and want it to work as advertised for more that 24 months. How hard can it be to support RAW images when new cameras are released?
    Is there another path (iPhoto?) that runs on Sonw Leopard and supports RAW from recent cameras?
    Thanks,

    I appreciate replys but please carefully read the original posting.
    I upgraded to a new camera - Canon 5D MKIII - which is when I lost thumbnails in the FINDER.
    I upgraded to Mt. Lion and don't like it. Like I said, I want to find a solution using Snow Leopard. the Mac is a personal computer and that's how I want to use it.
    I have Photoshop CS6 which is how I have to review my images now. This is much slower than FINDER thumbnails.
    So again: is there a way to have thumbnails show in Snow Leopard/FINDER for Canon 5D MKIII raw images?

  • Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

    Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
    Canon support says none available.
    Macbook pro under Yosemite.
    thanks

    Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
    If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.

  • Apple 's new drivers for Canon printers

    Apple has just released new drivers for Canon printers. I have an i9900 inkjet printer which is not listed in the supported printers. Will the driver work for me or am I out of luck?
    Thanks.

    The driver update is supplied to Apple from Canon, who has made the decision to end support for the i9900. They actually ended support several versions previously.
    So to print from Mavericks to the i9900 you can download and install Gutenprint v5.2.9 which lists the i9900 as a supported device.

  • Profile for Canon G10 to simulate Olympus E-3 colors

    I want to create a profile for Canon G10 which will simulate Olympus E-3 colors.
    I performed the following steps, but the result is very disappointing:
    1. Photographed a GretacgMacbeth ColorChecker with a G10 and a E-3, in the same light conditions (Open shade) in RAW.
    2. Converted the RAW files to DNG with DNG Converter 5.4, all default settings.
    3. Opened the E-3 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to E-3 Adobe Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    5. Closed the E-3 file and cleared everything.
    6. Opened the G10 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to G10 Camera Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    7. Noted the numeric difference between the HSL values for each patch in the G10 file, vs the E-3 file.
    8. Corrected the HSL values for each control point, by the numeric difference between the two files.
    9. Saved and exported with a new name.
    Obviously I did something wrong, because the result is BAD!
    I'll appreciate it if someone could help and point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Moshe

    I'd like to add two observations about my above experiment:
    1. If I change the values of a Control Point using the sliders or the point on the color wheel, the preview changes, but much less than the change of the slider. Say, I change the H slider to -10, the change in the preview is only -2, or so. Is that how it should be?
    2. If I hover with the cursor over a color patch in the ColorChecker preview the values change, probably due to noise, and it's difficult to decide which is the correct point. I didn't find an option, like in Photoshop, to set the sampling size so the value is an average of several pixels in all directions.
