Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED and 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G: Is this Sigma APO Teleconverter compatable with the Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED and the Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G lenses?

I doubt that it would work with the 18-70, it's rear element recesses pretty far and might hit the TC, besides why would you want to add a teleconverter to a that lens. But yes this should work with you 70-300, but because it's an APO teleconverter, it's not compatible with the AF system on the 70-300, you would have to use the non-APO version to get it to work. Also it's best that you use a teleconvertor of the same brand as the lens (ie Sigma converter with a Sigma lens, and a Nikon converter with Nikon lens), it's a pain to carry, but thats the way that it works best.

I don't think you will even be able to mount that lens. Nikon has a compatibility chart on their website. This teleconverter will only mount on certain lenses.

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

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.

I stupidly bought this teleconverter and it fits my Nikon D800 but will not attachj to my Sigma 170-500mm lens. It seems the lens elements on both ends protrude and will not allow a connection. It probably only attaches to lenses with an internal motor.

I'm not sure, but Nikon publishes a teleconverter compatibility chart. You should be able to find it by doing a web search.

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.

yes - exactly the same except, for example, the X shows XIF data as an aperture of 4.0 instead of 2.8 which is the actual lens f stop loss of a 1.4 teleconverter. The X wasn't out when I bought mine but I'm not sure I would have cared anyway. Take care.

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

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.

According to the compatibility list on the Sigma web site it will not work. I would recommend the Kenko Pro 300 1.4x TC., it will work on lenses from 50mm and larger. I use the 2.0 x and it works very well and the AF still works on most all of my lenses too.

Using Sigma's compatibility chart for Nikon mounts, your lens is NOT included. The prime 500 mm lens is included, but not your 170-500mm zoom lens. Since this is a DEDICATED converter you will probably have poor results with your lens.

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 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!

With Sigma look for DG in the lens description to identify FX compatible lenses. In the case of the Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM. the letters DG are what you care about and OS (optical stabilized) for long lenses like this one. I use this lens on my D700, D800 and D80 (IR converted) with good results. Go for it. Good price and my experience is that it is a good lens.

Here's what I found out about the meaning of APO DG initials on the Sigma 70-300 lens. The explanation is from a website that reviews lenses. Throughout modern times the Sigma 70/75-300mm APO variants were always positioned as a supposedly superior alternative to the base offerings of the genuine manufacturers in this lens group. The latest incarnation is the Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO macro. Sigma claims to have used an APOchromatic design for the lens which is surely a little optimistic but they've incorporated some special elements into it to stand out from the rest of the crowd. The DG (Digital) designation refers to an improved coating optimized for digital sensors but naturally the lens remains still usable on film SLRs.

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.
