I have a nikon D60 and have Sigma 70-300 mm f/4,5.6DG APOmacro motorized telephoto! Will this teleconverter get me by as an up coming? Will it work

Big issue on using teleconverters is lighting. if you don't have good lighting then no. also the speed of your focus has an impact in performance. slow autofocus and you camera will hunt. I ha d a sigma 70 - 300mm lens and it did ok. but my tamron is so much better. especially with teleconverters. one thing the keep in mind. your f factor with change with these.so an f4 be much higher. hence lighting issues.I have even stacked them with mixed results.I have a nikon D3100 with 2 nikon lens, 18-50mm and 50-200mm, and a tamron 70-300mmand 2 of these teleconverters.

I'm not sure, unfortunately, mine was for a Canon Rebel XS 58mm and it works great.

The teleconverter works, but the results for me are less that satisfactory. I used it twice and my images appeared washed out and slightly out of focus. It's in my camera bag only because i paid for it. If you are just looking to toy around with it, the cost is cheap enough for it, but do not expect to use it for any print work whatsoever. I used it with a Nikon D5100 and a 70-300 nikon lens. I didn't expect much to begin with at the price I paid for it, but was even more disappointed with the results. It good for toying around, but thats about it.

yes it works, but auto focus sometimes hunts a lot, especially if the light is limited

Yes. I struggled with the decision to buy the 2.0 TC or the sigma 50 -500 lens to get more zoom as 200 didn't reach far enough for my needs. In the end I got the teleconverter as it was less money and mainly a way to avoid another heavy lens. It works out very well. loss of sharpness and some f/stops as others have described but you will hardly notice. faster glass and more sharpness costs thousands of dollars which i'm unwilling to spend. i'm pleased going this way.

As best as I can tell, this Teleconverter will work with your camera. That said, I make this observation after referring to the Nikon Service and Support website. I strongly suggest you refer to this site, as there appear to be some limitation on which lenses can be used: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16108/~/what-lenses-can-i-use-on-the-nikon-d90%3F. In my case, the teleconverter worked with my camera body but not with the 18-150 Nikon lens I own. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Don't see why not - I use it on a Nikon D90. Auto focus can sometimes be a bit dicey. JudyP.S. The biggest issue is whether the lens you have will work with a teleconverter or not - web is helpful on that.

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.

Yes it wil work, best results on macrophotography on the telephoto end of 25-105 f4L

Well mine works perfectly with the Sigma 1.4X teleconverter and if you check the Sigma compatibility page here: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/teleconverter-compatibility, you can see it will work with the 2X. Hope this helps.

Sorry. Shooting in RAW, though, is always a good idea when you can't afford to lose a shot to over-exposure or other issues.The thing with telecoverters is that it MIGHT have helped but not necessarily so. Some lenses work better with teleconverters than others. For example, my old Tamron 70-300 was probably much worse with a teleconverter than a simple crop. There is also quite a difference between teleconverters and the better generic ones run about $200 and up. The Tamron PRO and Kenko PRO models are the most versatile high quality generic teleconverters. The cheaper generic teleconverters probably aren't worth bothering with and the Sigma and Canon teleconvters ONLY work with a small number of pro level lenses. Sorry.

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.

Have not tried it on the Canon 70-300L. Works with Tamron SP 70-300 VC, Canon 50 1.4, Sigma 50-500 OS, Sigma 70-200 2.8 OS, Canon 100 2.8L. Basically, has worked with every EF lens I tried. Does not work with EF-S. Sharpness with the Tamron 70-300 @ 300mm (420mm in total) is better than the Sigma alone at 500mm. So, it is a good teleconverter.

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 have the 2x Teleconverter from Tamron but i am not sure it is the same here. Mine is all black. I can tell you that I do use it with the same setup you have using a Canon 7D and the Tamron 70-200mm and it works just fine.

yes it will .It's avery good telephoto to begin with but u have to work with it a bit to figure it out .The instructions aren't much help

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway fr 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).

Almost certainly not. This teleconverter protrudes into the rear of of the attached lens and, in most cases, there is not enough space between the front of the converter and the back element of the lens. This converter is meant to work with very long telephoto lenses only. However, it does work - though not designed to do so - with the 80~200 mm (and newer 70~200 mm?) zoom lenses and the 105 mm macro lens. But generally speaking, this is a very long lens only accessory.

There's two things to consider, whether it will physically fit, and aperture issues. As for Physically fitting the teleconverter on the lens, I don't know. But even if you could, I don't think It would be worth it. You will lose two stops of aperture, so you will not have auto focus, and not be able to collect enough light.

I don't think so, because sigma have their own teleconverter for this lens.Even Nikon. Nikon have their own teleconverter for their own 70-200 and that's not fit on any other Nikon lens.I guess you gotta ask sigma. They have contact info in their website. Good luck!
