I have a AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR? Is this teleconverter compatible? Will it autofocus?

It did fit but it would not focus any of the lenses I used. I could hear the auto-focus trying to work but it just didn't do it. I returned the item and 33 Camera did a great job with that and getting the converter to me in Alaska.

Hello Pablo. While it is compatible I recommend the 7 element version for that lens. It will auto focus but very slowly.

Yes it should work fine. I have the same setup on my D7100 and the results are great. Slightly more difficult to focus on small distant objects with the teleconverter attached.

It works with all my Nikkor AF-S lenses. You won't actually want to auto-focus - but you may want it to take care of the other settings automatically and manually focus to get things exactly as you want. On a zoom lens, the zoom really becomes a giant focus ring.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I bought this lens for my camera. The lens works perfectly with my D5100. The D5100 has auto-focus capabilities, and because this lens as the "VR" designation, it too is an auto-focus attachment! It's been a great addition to my set-up!

I don't have this lens so I don't know for sure. Check the Nikon compatibility table at http://www.nikonusa.com/en_INC/IMG/Assets/Common-Assets/Images/Teleconverter-Compatibility/EN_Comp_chart.html

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

I believe it is compatible with the exception of Autofocus whichever I think eases to work at f5.6 therefore because of losing 2 stops with the converter only lenses of f2.8 and larger (f1.8. f1.4 etc ) will have autofocus the lens you are asking about is compatible ( but you will have to focus manually). Check Nikons web site for compatabilty

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Kenko's DG series of teleconverters - I think the DG series has been discontinued at B&H; and Adorama. I'v'e used a Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II for years but now the Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 DGX 1.4x AF. The Kenko DGX teleconverter has full autofocus functionality with lenses having a maximum aperture of f/4 or brighter. Only reason I bought the Kenko is that the Nikon teleconverters only works with 2 of my Nikon telephoto lenses. The Kenko will work on all my telephoto lenses including the Tokina 400mm and Sigma 150-500mm.

My camera is a Pentax K-5, where this teleconverter works perfectly. D7000 and K-5 are direct concurrents, I believe it will also work on D7000.

You need EF mount lenses. EF-S mount lenses will not fit this teleconverter. In general, teleconverters are a bad idea unless you use them with very high quality lenses. The converter will magnify any flaws the lens already has. It would be more cost effective to buy a longer prime lens than trying to use a teleconverter on any lens with a maximium focal length less than 100mm. You would also be better off just cropping your shots from a telephoto lens that has a maximum aperture narrower than f/2.8 or f/4. Since any 2X converter doubles the effective focal length, it also increases the maximum aperture by two stops. An f/4 lens becomes an f/8 lens. An f/5.6 lens becomes an f/11 lens and so on. An inexpensive telephoto lens such as a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 becomes an effective 140-600 f/8-11. Most Canon bodies disable auto focus any time a lens or lens/converter combo with maximum aperture narrower then f/5.6 is mounted. The 1D series wil allow auto focus to function up to f/8.

This teleconverter is compatible with the Nikon D50. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

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.

I have the same lens & teleconverter and it works perfectly. Good luck hope you enjoy this setup. Wayne

I am reasonably sure that the 1.7 teleconverter will work with your 300mm f2.8 on your D800. I use mine on all of my Nikon cameras (D750, D7000 and D300) with my fast lenses (70-200 f2.8 and 200-400 f4.0) and autofocus works just fine.

This lens will not autofocus on camera bodies that only support AF-S lenses. Most of Nikon's better cameras still have a mechanical drive motor - check your camera manual to be sure. The lens is otherwise compatible with DX format Nikons and is a great (if slow to focus) lens for that camera. With the 1.5x crop factor, the apparent image at maximum zoom is 600mm - amazing for the portability of this lens. Add a Canon 500D close-up lens and you also get great macro images from 20" in front of the lens. Some hints for this lens generally: buy only high quality thin form-factor filters. I purchased some lower quality filters when I first bought this lens and they caused the autofocus to be off. I recommend thin filters in case you ever move to an FX camera body; normal filters on this lens may cause a vignette effect on FX format cameras. Also, try to keep the zoom down to around 380mm and off of 400mm - this lens tends to get a bit soft at 400mm.

While the teleconverter WILL work with the D3100, it will only work with a small selection of Nikon lenses and unfortunately the AF-S 55-300mm is not one of them. Nikon has a "Compatible With" tab on the product page for the TC-17E II which will give you a definitive list: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-17E-II.html

Hmmm... Not the one I bought... I purchased the adapter for NIKON (old school D70s)! BUT... According to Tamron, the tele-converters are compatible with Tamron lenses. Keep in mind that at extreme close-ups, focusing is slow and spotty - Especially in low light conditions. If you can live with that, then these are great! Remember to use a tripod for extreme close-ups. Movement is highly exaggerated especially with slower shutter speeds. Hope this helps!
