Teleconverter advice?

Thanks Nightshade & John.

I've engineered a chance to use a Nikon 1.4TCE MkII for a couple of days and return it if I don't like it. Main task is to see how it gets on with the Sigma 105mm. I'll let you know!

Hi Dave,

The Nikon converter will not work with the Sigma lens - it won't physically fit due to a tab on the front mounting ring of the converter.

I have the Nikon 1.4, 1.7 and 2.0 converters and they will only work on certain Nikon AF-S and AF-1 lenses and definitely not on any Sigma lenses.

If you Google "nikon af-s converter compatibility" you'll find near the bottom of the first page this pdf to download:

blog.nikonians.org/.../Nikonians%20Teleconverter%20Table.pdf

which lists all converter compatibility.

Cheers,
Rog

Thanks Rog,

That's knocked that one on the head then!

Thanks also to the pointer to the converter compatibility table. Don't know why I never found that on my numerous searches.

Looks like I need to borrow a Kenko!!

No probs., Dave.

The Kenko should be fine with the 105mm macro. I use one with my Sigma 150mm macro, as do lots of others Wabbers, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Cheers,
Rog
