can this lens be used with a teleconverter?

The following comes from a site reviewing the lens. Along with many of Canon's other L-Zooms, the 28-300 L has a 77mm filter size. Like many of the newer L-Zooms, the 28-300 IS is weather sealed. Unfortunately, and unlike most of Canon's other white L-Zooms, the 28-300 IS is not compatible with the Canon EF 1.4x Extender or the Canon EF 2x Extender. Well, not compatible according to Canon - and not fully compatible, but extenders can indeed be used with this lens as proven by the 420mm and 600mm ISO 12233 chart results for this lens. If the 28-300 L is zoomed out to 50mm or longer, the rear element retracts into the lens far enough for the Canon 1.4x and 2x extenders to physically mount onto the lens. Once installed, zooming in to 50mm will result in physical contact between the front of the extender (likely the rubber ring surrounding the glass lens element) and the rear element of the lens. You obviously want to avoid this. I hope this helps. Personally, I would not reccomend.

Yes - but the amount of light to the lens will be reduced. I don't use it with a teleconverter.

I have both the 150-500 and 50-500 Sigma lenses (A-mount) and it works with both of them. I use them on Sony E-mount cameras with a Sony A-mount to E-mount adapter. IS works with the teleconverter but AF does not. All other function work. This converter works especially well with these lenses for wildlife subjects.

This teleconverter is for Tamron lenses that you want to use on a Canon camera. I have a Tamron 18-270 lens and a Tamron 150-600 lens and both can be used with the teleconverter on my Canon T3i. Once you get beyond 150 mm, you may have to switch to manual because the AF may not work. But it works great and worth the $$.

I didn't use light loss was too grate for the lens I wanted to use it with wouldn't work with Cannon lens which would have been light compatible. Teleconverter halves light see if you want to use it at f12.6.

The canon converters will only work with canons L lenses from everything I've heard. You can use the sigma converters, which will work on this lens I believe or if you buy the kenko teleconverters they work with just about any lens and cost a little bit less than either canon or sigma.

Yes it will. Keep in mind that the teleconverter will slow down the lens by 2 stops.

Yes, you can use a telephoto lenses on this camera as long as it is an E-mount type of lens like the SEL70200G. However, if you intended to use an A-mount type like the SAL70400G2 or SAL300F28G2, you are required to use an adapter (A-mount to E-mount). Model of the adapter is LAEA4. Hope this helps. -Ely

No, they use a physically different mounting. There are Teleconverters on the used market that fit FD lenses, do a search on Amazon and ebay for one. If you are hoping to make a FD lens work with a EF mount, there are good converters from Ed Micka, but they are hand made and expensive. The commonly available ones degrade the image. Canon made a FD-EOS converter, they are scarce and price is out of this world.

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

Hi, i used this lens with a Promaster 1.7x and a Tamron 1.4x Teleconverter, both let the camera (K7 and k5) focus with the lens, but i would only recommend it in occasions with a lot of light, the TCs cut down light and AF can get pretty sluggish.

For now all you need is this lens. Everything comes with it. I would recommend a 14 teleconverter. This lens is good to go as is. You will love it. Its heavy but that has nothing to do with the quality as far as Im concerned

This lens works on full frame but I am not sure how the electronics would work with a converter

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 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.

Sorry, there are no teleconverters for EF-S lenses available in the US that I'm aware of. I've heard rumors of EF-S compatible (Kenko?) teleconverters from Hong Kong but I still haven't been able to verify. Either way, its likely that a teleconverter with the 55-250 wouldn't be much, if any, better than simply cropping the image (might as well put the T1i's extra megapixels to good use). Plus a 1.4X teleconverter would add a stop and a 2X would add 2 stops putting your lens' aperture above f5.6, the minimum needed for auto-focus to function.

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).........

It will work with any camera that can mount filters. Looking at the camera in question I can't tell if it can mount filters. Usually in this type of camera there is an optional tube that can be screwed to the body so that the lens can move in it. Filters can then be mounted on the end of the tube. This is where the Raynox teleconverter would mount. So the answer is- I don't know.
