OverviewCanon 2x III

The Canon EF Extender 2x Teleconverter is a lens accessory designed for use with the Canon EF mount system on DSLR cameras. It mounts between compatible Canon EF lenses and the camera body, and supports both autofocus and manual focus operation. The extender is rated for full-frame coverage, making it suitable for use with full-frame Canon DSLR bodies as well as APS-C systems.

Weighing 325g, it adds a moderate amount of mass to a lens-and-body setup, which is worth factoring in for handheld or travel shooting. The accessory carries no image stabilization of its own, so any stabilization in the optical chain depends entirely on the attached lens or camera body. With a Canon EF lens mount interface, it is compatible with the broad Canon EF ecosystem of lenses.

Focus mode options include both auto and manual, giving shooters flexibility depending on subject and lighting conditions. No filter thread is present on this unit, and no maximum aperture reduction data is listed in the specifications. For photographers already invested in the Canon EF DSLR system who want extended reach from their existing glass, this teleconverter offers a mount-compatible, autofocus-capable solution.

Key FeaturesCanon 2x III

2x Focal Length Multiplication: Doubles the effective focal length of the attached lens, giving you significantly more reach without purchasing a longer lens.

Canon EF Mount Interface: Mounts between compatible Canon EF lenses and any Canon EF-mount DSLR body, fitting seamlessly into an existing Canon ecosystem.

Autofocus Support: Preserves autofocus capability with compatible Canon EF lenses, allowing continued use of AF-based shooting workflows.

Full-Frame Coverage: Rated for full-frame image circles, making it suitable for use on both full-frame and APS-C Canon DSLR bodies.

2-Stop Aperture Reduction: Reduces the maximum aperture of the attached lens by two stops, which affects exposure and may limit autofocus in lower light.

325g Build Weight: Adds 325g to the overall lens-and-body configuration, a factor worth considering for handheld or travel setups.
