I have a Nikon AF-S 55-200 F/4-5.6 ED VR and a Nikon AF-s 18-55 F/3.5-5.6 G (kit lenses). My question is: will this teleconverter mount on them?

Hi Pedro - I also have the 18-55 and 55-200 Nikon lenses and have no problem mounting them with the Kenko Pro 300 2X teleconverter. The only drawback is that your autofocus may not be very reliable - but for telephoto shots I almost always use manual focus anyway. Bottom line is, you can safely use this teleconverter with your Nikon lenses.

Yes, it will. Please note that the TC will likely cause autofocus not to work (you will lose 2 stops of light). Also, the Kenko 2x TC is not a very good teleconverter so any images will be of extremely poor quality. Finally, if you have both lenses that you listed, it would be absolutely pointless to put any TC on the 18-55mm (that's why you have a 55-200mm). In short: Bad Idea!

Yes it will mount but you lose two stops on a 2x T/C. Autofocus will typically work above 6.5. Therefore autofocus is problematical. Manual focus will work fine.

This Teleconverter lens won't work out of range. This Teleconverter up to 400mm or less than 400mm.

It will work with any camera that can mount filters. Looking at the camera in question I can't tell if it can mount filters. Usually in this type of camera there is an optional tube that can be screwed to the body so that the lens can move in it. Filters can then be mounted on the end of the tube. This is where the Raynox teleconverter would mount. So the answer is- I don't know.

It probably will not work properly. Check the lens manual to see if it is compatible with a 2X teleconverter. It may focus manually but you will be disappointed with the results. The lens manual will tell you if it is compatible at all. The Nikon version of this lens will work and autofocus with the 1.4X teleconverter but results with the 2X are poor.

Sorry this was about a Tamron AF 2X Teleconverter, not Tamron lens. This teleconverter did not work on my Nikon D7000.

Yes it will work. Keep in mind that you are getting cheaper glass than if you were to buy Canons 2X teleconverter. I have used it with my 6D and the canon 70-200mm lens and it worked fine. I was in a natatorium later in the day so the light was not optimal for testing, but the focus was softer using the 2x, which is to be expected. Teleconverters work best with longer focal length prime lenses and tend to have more of a negative impact on image quality with zoom lenses. So your mileage may vary. If you don't need the full magnification of 2x and can live with a 1.4xm the smaller teleconverter should (in theory) have less negative impact on image quality. It was not too bad for me with the 2x but it was noticeable.

I used the 1.4X teleconverter with the Sigma 300 f. 2.8, for pentax. So I do not have experience on its use with the 18-250 Sigma lens. Any way I'm not very happy of it, there is huge decay in quality and in focus. I would not suggest to any friend of mine to buy it.

I do not see this as being compatible with your lens as listed on the NIKONUSA site.By the way, Nikon is releasing an updated version of this TC on August 28th.http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-14E-II.html

Very sorry, but I have no experience in the use of the 1,4 teleconverter with 150-500 mm. Be aware that at more than f. 8 the autofocus does not work.....so if the maximum opening is f. 5,6 (but I did not check) you can use the teleconverter only with the complete opened diaphragm of the lens.

Hi Mark. Thank you for your question. No. This converter will not work well with that lens. We have found the best choice for that lens to be the 2.2x telephoto that goes on top rather than on the bottom. Thank you. Charlie.

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

I am not really sure that the converter will work in auto mode. Usually, teleconverters are not too successful with slower lenses. I use mine with lenses that can deliver an f4.0 or larger aperture.

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.

Hi S.O. Baldrick, this Sony SAL-20TV teleconverter works only on Sony lenses SAL70200G, SAL300F28G and SAL135F28 only. -Ely

In order for AF to work on Nikon & Canon lenses the aperture must be larger than f8 (ie. f5.6, f4, f2.8 etc. smaller number = larger aperture). the Nikon 55-200mm kit lens has an aperture range from f4 - f5.6. When you add any 2X teleconverter the aperture size is reduced by half. Therefor the kit lens aperture range is now f8 - f11 and the AF function will not work. It will, however, work just fine on manual focus.

As long as the thread is 55mm on yoru DMCFZ70, it will fit. If not, get an adapater ring. As for what it will do, your camera as 60x zoom. This will give it approximately 1.3x extension of that range. Like with all teleconverters, you will get some chromatic aberration, but that happens will all of them. As for what it will do for lunar/moon images, it will give you better magnification, but you're not going to get telescope sharp images.

I use it with the Tamron SP 70-300 F4-5.6 alone and with a Nikon 1.4x teleconverter with good results. It may take a little adjustmemt of the strap to allow for full zoom.
