Can anyone recommend a good and compatible teleconverter for the Canon 60mm macro lens, if there is one. I would like a little more magnification, and also some more working distance (extension tube?). |

I am not familiar with the 60mm Macro. So, my point is general in nature. Extension tube will reduce your working distance and for that you will get a greater image magnification. To get a little more magnification but keep the distance the same, you can indeed add a teleconverter. I am not sure about the resulting image quality of this combo and for sure, you loose the speed of your lens. Canon's own TCs, both the 1.4X and 2.0X, are more designed to be used for longer L lenses, having longer focal lengths than 60mm. I believe the shortest lens that can be used with Canon TC is the 135mmL. You have to look into Tamron/Kenko/Sigma offering for that. Just make sure that it is compaible with your lens. Good luck! |
