Does this work with the 20mm 1.7? Does it hurt autofocus or image quality?

I'm sorry to say no. The image looks pale and overexposure. Don't use it on 20mm/f1.7. But it work very well with 14mm.

I use it with my D3200 and 55-300 lens and autofocus does work. I have noticed some diminution of image quality

I have the 20mm/1.7, the 12-35, 35-100 and the 12-42. None will do this. I suggest an adapter and a bellows system. Novoflex makes adapters for several camera brands e.g. Canon, then find an inexpensive bellows here on Amazon and attach it. Only then will you be able to get that close. It will require manual focus and metering.

I'm using this with canon ef 85mm f/1.8 USM and canon ef 35mm f/2 works fine even with auto focus just a little bit slow on focusing so mostly I use manual focus also worked with sigma 18-250mm

I don't know much about the 1.7, but it certainly won't give you the background blur of the F1.2 lens. OIS won't make up for the lens speed difference and ability to use faster shutter speeds when needed.

I used it with the Minolta 200mm f2.8 and was not very pleased with the quality of the image. I was hoping to be to gain the distance, but, it took away from what quality I loved in the lens so I decided to send it back.

David, out of hundreds of posts I've read about the HF 200, yours is by far the most helpful. I am shooting a corporate board meeting in poor flourescent lighting tomorrow, and trying to get test to get the best results. The meeting is 90 minutes long, so I am going to try to break it up into approx 20 min segments while shooting for easier file management. Going to shoot in FXP mode 30p. I am going to try some tests with aperture priority at wide open. Are there concerns about subject staying in focus by doing this, or is the autofocus reliable enough for shallow dof?

It just so happens that yesterday I tried the 2.0 on my 7D Mark II with the new 100-400 II lens and it lost its AF function. It works fine with the 1.4 extender, though.

On my A7 it works perfectly ok with my canon lenses. Not so good was the Tokina 12-24mm, but they were really meant for APS sensors anyway, and A Rokinon 8mm fisheye. Hopelessly vignetted, as in literally half the frame missing.

I use it with the t1i and it works great. Very fast and accurate focus. This lens is one of my best purchases.

I have had one for about a year. I use it on Autofocus and hand held.I have been pleased with the quality of pictures I have gotten.RZ

Yes it will work. Autofocus is not supported. All you have to do is make sure that "Release w/o lens" option in the setup menu is enabled. Hope this helps.

I have some nikon lenses from my nikon f3, i have some lenses from nikon d90, i have some sigma lenses they all work fine for me but ofcourse no autofocus you have to set nikon1 to manual in order to use all these lenses. For example 50mm 1:1.2 lens is doing a great job. I hope this info is enough if not i can write more. For$20 this is good product. No need to spent $200 just for auto focus for the autofocus lenses.

Bill, I have a K20D also and tried this lens on it - the distortion was apparent at 18mm indoors.. I only tried the lens on the camera.. never used it as I did not get all the proper paperwork nor a lens shield with it... so I returned it the next day to Amazon for a full refund.. only because of the seller.. not the lens itself.. I'd also say.. read as many reviews on it as possible before buying..

I have not had exposure issues but I have had focus issues. Not really issues, as much as just not being happy with the focal range at all, or the autofocus system. If you are shooting auto I can see you having problems as the auto systems just do not seem to be up to par compared to other platforms

For me, the lack of accurate focus was why I returned this lens. For many of my shots - nothing was in focus over the whole photo. It may work fine for some, but every iteration of this lens that I tried did not work for me. I recommend looking at the Tamron 10-24 f3.5 (further zoom, better aperture). I've been using it for 1.5 yrs & it stays on my camera as the default lens!
