I just received mine and am using it with my Nikon DX 55-300, it doesn't make my zoom any longer? It does NOTHING. Could it be broken? or user error??

Mount your zoom lens, without the teleconverter, on your camera and zoom it out to 300 and focus on a distant object . Note the size of the object in your viewfinder. Now take off the lens and mount the teleconverter to your lens first and then mount it to your camera body. Zoom out to 300 and look at the same object. You should notice an increase in magnification. In other words the object first viewed should look larger. You should also notice a loss of light of about one stop. Your viewfinder should look a little darker with the teleconverter on.Hope this helps.

It is a mutiplication of 300 x.4 = 120. Now your 300 is a 420. It is a smallish gain at that point. Not as noticeable as 55 to 300 Vs. 300 to 420.

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

Mine sometimes doesn't read any memory card put into it. I had to take out the battery, fit it back in and then able to take just one photo shot. The zoom doesn't work for me as well.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

Bummer. Interesting that Zoom doesn't seem to take any ownership of this issue and that they are still selling the H2. I certainly wouldn't buy another H2 and I probably won't buy another Zoom product. I replaced the H2 with a Tascam DR-07, which works just fine.

I was using it with my Nikon Macro lens as well as several of my Telephoto lenses. Zooming the lens will work, however the autofocus from the camera does not connect to the autofocus in the lens. Same goes for any image stabilization requiring power, and camera controlled aperture. The aperture can be controlled with on-lens selector or the less accurate selector on the adapter for lenses without that feature. Should work with all current Nikon lenses though.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

yes, I had the same problem after 6 months of owning the camera. With my camera, the lens froze open while after using the camera. I sent it to Canon while it was still under warranty and they fixed it. But I am worried that it will do the same thing again. I am really disappointed with this product!

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it.. But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

Yes. I just got mine and have been reading the manual and watching demos and reading reviews. Zoom works when shooting video, optical up to 5X and then digital up to 20X. (I am shooting video at 1280x720 which is HD enough for me.) Also I understand that the automagic settings continue to adjust continually while taking the video, and the image stabilization is just beyond awesome - I have a hand tremor that you would think would be extremely noticeable in a video and there is no hint of it. I am in awe of this thing.

I placed this lens on a Nikon N80 35mm camera and the image jerked a couple of times then began focusing normally. It only happened when I initially attached the lens and first turned the camera on. Not sure if the lens is totally compatible with 35mm. Did you attach it to a 35mm or digital? Did you determine the cause and was the lens not working correctly?

It works great for me. My guess is that someone got a lemon, and I'm sure they do exist. You can see photos I took with my D5100 at http://idaholyoaks4.blogspot.com/. There are lots of shots there I took with my D5100, as well as some I took with older cameras.

I had a problem with the zoom and so did another customer. The camera is broken and the cost to fix it is too expensive. i wouldn't buy another fuji camera ever. Sorry, I need to be completely honest....

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

It did not work for me. Perhaps mine was defective. It messed up something in my camera and I eventually got a new camera

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

Concur with Rich Maher's comments. However when I use it with my Tamron 18-270 zoom I find that I need to use manual focus as it gets a little "confused" with the extender.
