Will the Canon EF 1.4X II Telephoto Extender work with the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Zoom Lens for Canon?

I don't know about the electronics compatibility, but if that is OK your lens will work as an F4 instead of F2.8. That is still fast enough for most purposes. Best wishes, Ian Giles

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.

I use a Tamron pro 1.4 extender. Ability to use extender depends on the lens. Most of the EF-S lenses cannot mount on a converter. I use the extender with a 80-200L f4 lens. It will not auto focus on a f 5.6 lens. Hope this helps

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.

It would work with any Canon EF lens mount, so if your Tamron works on Canon, it will work with the adapter on a micro43 camera.

From what I can tell the Rebel accepts Canon EF lenses. The Tamron is compatible with EF lenses (it works on my 5D and 7D Canons).

First, let's talk about physical requirements. The 2x extender will work on ANY Canon model that accepts EF type lenses. This includes the 60D. However, you need to go to the Canon website and check the compatibility chart for this extender with the various Canon lenses. Some lenses will physically not work with this extender because the rear element of certain EF lenses is too far back in the lens mount and will not allow it to connect to the extender. The 2nd problem is light. The lens should be a minimum of f/2.8 as you will lose 2 f-stops of light with the extender. Anything less than f/2.8 may cause your camera to NOT autofocus. It will still work but you will have to manually focus the lens. First, let's talk about physical requirements. The 2x extender will work on ANY Canon model that accepts EF type lenses.

I don't have the 70-200 but I do not see any reason why the teleconverter would slow focusing, as long as you have enough light. It will cost you one stop of light but outdoors, in the daytime, that should be no problem on a 2.8 lens.

None of the EF-S lenses will work with the 1.4X or 2X extenders. Not Bower or Canon. They will not fit the extender, the lens glass hits the extender glass.

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.

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.

As I understand it, the extender will certainly fit but it's best work does not happen on a telephoto zoom. It'll be much more satisfactory on a prime lens.

I don't have the Tamron 70-200 but I have the canon 70-200L f4, and I must say the 24-70 Tamron is not as sharp as the canon. Having said this, the Tamron is sharp enough for me and in anycase you need wide-tele lens for general photography as opposed to long telephoto zooms such as 70-200.

It should, it is a EOS system and they all use the EF mount. This item: Opteka 500mm f/8 High Definition Preset Telephoto Lens for Canon EOS 1D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, ... $89.95 should work fine because it provides the correct EF adapter.See this article...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS

no, that is Tamron SP 70-200MM F/2.8 DI VC USD Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon (FX) CamerasIf you have the funds, but the VC version, If not, the optics on this lens is the same w/o the VC... focusing is slower too.

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!

The Canon Extenders EF 1.4X III or II are designed to fit just some of the Canon L prime tele and zoom lenses. B&H has a complete compatibility list which unfortunately does not include your lense.
