Can I use a Sigma 1.4 teleconverter on this lens, or do I need a Nikon tc?

I am not sure but I think I would not use a third party TC on that lens.I am not suggesting that there are quality issues with the Sigma which I have been told is actually quite good.But on a prime of this sort I would stick to the brand name Nikon TC 1.4. That is what I have done.

You can use the sigma tc. I have the 300mm f/4 and love it. You can also check out sigma compatibility by going to www.nikonians.org and scanning through nikon lens forum. I believe they have a tc compatibility page Tekneektom

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.

hello. not sure about the sigma, but i've been able to use the tamron pro SP X1.4 TC w/ the Nikon 300mm, F/4 lens w/ good results.

Nikon will tell you to use the Nikon tc, and that is what I do, the sigma will work but I think focusing is quicker with the nikon.

I would get a Nikon TC-14E II. This is the only Nikon teleconverter that works with the Nikon 300mm f/4. I suggests you see the recommendations at nikon.com and review that lens there.

Yes, the Sigma 1.4 TC for Nikon will work on this lens. I have one of those TCs, and it works with all my Nikon lenses. Someone commented that the Sigma TC might be slower to auto focus than the Nikon TC, but since the AF connection from the camera to the lens in the TC is simply mechanical, the speed should be the same.

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

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!

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.

I don't think so, the TC20eiii is designed for prime lenses but to be certain, look at the compatibility chart http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2189/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-20E-III.html

There are no Nikon teleconverters compatible with the Nikkor 70-300mm 4-5.6 lens. You have to use the Sigma, Kenko or Tamron 1.4x teleconverters.

I can not say, with any certainty. However, the Sigma teleconverters are half the price of Nikon's but they do not play well with Nikon lenses.

Chris is correct - the teleconverter will work with your D3200, but not with the 55-300 lens. Here is the website - there is a "compatible with" section at the bottom: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2189/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-20E-III.html

It will work fine with your teleconverter, but your max aperture will then be f/5.6....... with the 1.4 extender your max aperture will be f/4.0

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 don't think so but the be sure you should visit Nikon's website for the teleconverter and click on the "compatible with" link. You can get there by following this link:http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-20E-III.htmlGood LuckDom

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.

The answer is no. The TC converters that Nikon manufactures only work with their higher end lenses. You will actually damage the lens or camera body if you try to use one on that lens. I do not think it will work on the lens you are asking about. If you go to their web site Nikonusa.com and do a search for teleconverter compatibility table, you can see a detailed list of recommended teleconverters to lens combos.

The teleconverter I purchased was for Canon product and would only work on certain lens types. You'll need to review the Nikon compatible teleconverter specifications and check with Nikon to determine what lenses it will work with.

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).........

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.
