Item Description
Bought this TC about two years ago, before i really grew to understand lens optics (ZOMG TELECONVERTER WITH AUTOFOCUS?!?!1111), needless to say, with a sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6, this thing has spent a lot of time in my bag. Not trying to put this TC down though, I've had a few converters, this one has the least degradation of IQ I've seen, I had the idea of removing the elements, creating an auto focus extension tube to stick on my sigma 17-70mm, although I never got up the nerve/skill...

Before buying, please check your lens will auto focus with this converter, I've had 2 returns already, needless to say, I've learned my lesson with Evilbay. I will not accept returns due to buyers failing to check lens compatibility . Excellent condition, one or too small cosmetic scuffs. Will ship anywhere at cost (except Nigeria).

Any questions/comments/blatent holes in my sale, hit me up

I have one of those and I used on the past with tamron 70-200 f2.8 with good results and AF.

Sometimes, when needed more reach I use it with DA* 300/4 instead of the tamron (sdm) 1.4x. I loose AF but being a 7 elements optic I get good results, or in other words, degradation of IQ is very well controled.

Netuser: Thanks for tip on the Tamron 70-200, sometimes these TC's can be a bit hit and miss in regards to compatibility. Glad to hear it will be fully functional with the Tammy. cheers

No problem

Sometimes, when shooting surf, I have the main camera with DA*300/4 + tamron 1.4x (with sdm) and second camera with the Tamron 70-200 2.8 + tamron 2x.

This way I can go for the surf shoots with DA* and with the zoom available with the tamron lens I go for other type of shoots.
