Key Features — Canon 2X III
2x Magnification Factor: Doubles the focal length of compatible Canon EF lenses, effectively extending reach without purchasing an additional lens.
Canon EF Mount: Fits between Canon EF mount lenses and EF-compatible camera bodies, integrating seamlessly into existing Canon EF systems.
Third-Generation Design: The Mark III version offers improved optical performance and autofocus communication over earlier extender generations.
Fluorite & UD Elements: Optical construction includes specialized glass elements to minimize chromatic aberration introduced by the magnification.
Autofocus Support: Maintains electronic communication between lens and camera body, preserving autofocus functionality on compatible lenses.
