Footnotes: | |
1 | The difference between C/D4, MC4 or SX4 and C/D7, MC7 or SX7 converters is the number of elements used, e.g. MC4 = 4 elements, MC7 = 7 elements. The 7 element converters are the better ones (might not proof true in cross comparison between manufacturers). |
2 | Limited to EF means not compatible to EF-S. |
