I just got a Tamron Promaster 2x TC for a fraction of the cost of the Canon version.

There are very few reviews out there but I attached it to my 300 f4 IS and started shooting random household objects handheld and I think that the results are pretty good - especially without any MA.

AF is slower, as expected, and sometimes AF would not lock. Again, expected due to low light.

Those are respectable, not even the canon 2x is sharp on many great lenses so these seem pretty decent. The speed of AF at f/8 would probably kill it for me though.

As far as I am aware, Promaster is not part of Tokina (Implied in the title), and lets contracts to various producers of equipment. There is no statement as to who produced it yesterday, today, or will make it tomorrow. Whoever offers it for the lowest price will likely be the supplier.

Lol... It's a Tamron. I'll update the title.

Here's a link to the product. I paid *significantly* less than that price.

It's not a Promaster. That is a different brand.

This is the Tamron Pro that was white for many years and pretty good.

I use a tamron sp 2x on occasion as well. I had a canon 2x VI, and it was pretty decent on the 300mm f2.8 is I had. When the canon VIII came out with all the hoopla, I got one to try and it wasn't really any better in my opinion, a little better in the corners maybe and a tad less CA, but was hoping for more especially on my 70-200 is II. I wound up getting a Tamron from KEH and for the little I use it I'm happy with it.
