Can anyone guide me to a 2x teleconverter that will work with my D7100 and the Tamron F2.8 VC 70-200mm lens?

My tamron 2x converter works fine with all of my Nikon lenses including my Nikon 70-200mm lens and my tamron 200-400mm. I don't know about the tamron 70-200, but my guess is yes. Jerry

I can't say for sure about your equipment. I can tell you that I have a Nikon D90 and D7000 and older model Tamron 35-135 and 70-210 lenses. The adapter works perfectly for me and allows me to continue using my older lenses that make great shots. I had thought about selling the lenses but at the going rate you can't expect much. Now though, I have two valuable lenses that I am still able to use.

Merry Christmas Deborah. Here is the link for the lenses that are compatible with the Nikon teleconverters. You will want to get one of the professional lenses to use their teleconverter. Kenko pro line of teleconverters will probably work ok for your use with that lens though. http://www.nikonusa.com/en_INC/IMG/Assets/Common-Assets/Images/Teleconverter-Compatibility/EN_Comp_chart.html

Since this teleconverter works with EF lenses only it will fit the 60D which is equivalent to 224-960 with the crop factor of 1.6. 70-300 x2 = 140-600 x1.6= 224-960. but at the same time the aperture will also suffer from f4 to f8 or smaller. I've used this for my 60D and to even get adequate shutter speed with the smaller aperture you have bump up your ISO by which the images then becomes grainy and doubling it with this converter makes the final image unacceptable. I don't recommend this teleconverter on an APSC sensor at the long end of a telephoto lens. I used a Tamron 28-300 telephoto with this converter and the images were horrible. If the lens isn't sharp in the first place this converter will magnify that flaw x2!

Yes. I have been using my 300mm lens on the d200. Works fine. Have also used with a 2x Teleconverter between lens and camera body. Wonderful lens, great photos!

The teleconverter is for A mount. The 70-200 f4G is an E mount lens. So no.

Susan: I am almost certain you can use the Sigma teleconverter with this lens, but to be on the safe side I recommend giving Amazon a call. They have a Camera department and they are helpful. Sometimes they can even find you very good deals you didn't know about. Through them I received a $300 credit with the purchase of a camera.

Hi,Yes, it will work with the 7D. ( great camera, I owned one.) If the Tamron 70-200 lens is a Canon mount and fits your 7D then it will work with the teleconverter.Happy shooting.

Hi, no I do not believe it will. I found out the hard way that Nikon for some reason does not note that the converter works with only select high end Nikon lenses. Now the Tamron converter will work with all lenses and I have found it works great. Testing both lenses, autofocus is slower on the converters equally and you loose two F stops. Nikon's website has the manual for the converter or you can google it as a PDF file to see the lenses it works with.

Yes - but the amount of light to the lens will be reduced. I don't use it with a teleconverter.

Nikon designs it's lenses so that if the widest zoom is under 70mm, they will not work with the teleconverter, whether its Nikon branded or not. I would not recommend using the 70-300 with it because of the loss of light. You also may not be able to autofocus at your longest zoom because the lens will have a widest aperture greater than f8. I never use this teleconverter due to the major reduction of image quality (I have a 70-200 2.8). The only real use for it is on the long primes like the 300 or 400 2.8 because it won't degrade image quality as much. In short, get good glass, not a teleconverter.

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway für quality reasons. It is a bad idea to use a converter for a wide-to.tele-zoom. Teleconverters are best for fast lenses (2.0...4.0) and longer focal lenghts (fixed or fast pro telezooms).

You are better off paying the extra for the Nikon teleconverter 1.7 times converter. Have had no luck with the vivitar, not as compatible as the claims. A lot of jitter on the lense.

The teleconverter works best with F2.8 lenses. AF may not work well at higher F stops and you may need to go to Manual focus

I have a D3100 and the teleconverter works but it is slow to focus. If I had to buy again I would not save the money and buy a nikon teleconverter it works better and faster.

I would go to the Nikon web site... look at the teleconverter section and find this model and then go to the compatibility section for lenses it is compatible with ...... I would be leary about purchasing them (especially used).........
