I would recommend the free program Poseray. Its very easy to use, It has no modelling abilities to get in the way, just read a file in and export the OBJ file.

Even though it offers superb rendering, I have often used it just for conversion of 3DS and Lightwave files. Sometimes even for 'correcting' OBJ files that didn't come out of D|S quite right.
