Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 6 users at B&H Photo Video

"The real benefit of course is that it maintains the DOF of a 150mm lens at its effective new focal length, plus the gain of a stop of aperture speed."

"First off - f/2 + 150mm = AMAZING bokeh! your backgrounds always end up nice & creamy, which makes your main subject pop out beautifully in the frame."

"Yes it is a bit on the heavy side and expensive but to me this means quality and ruggedness and will withstand any bumps and knocks that will happen some time in the future and along with the added bonus of withstanding the British weather "mainly rain""
