tu_clouds Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Does anyone know if the 200mm f.4 macro apo g lens is compatible with a teleconverter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hohner Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I've used this lens with the Minolta 1.4x, Minolta 2x and Kenko 1.5x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_greene Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Just a word of caution. There are two versions of most Minolta adapters. While both will work with the same lens, the high speed version gives faster autofocus with the high speed lens but slower autofucas than the standard converter with a non high speed lens. More can be found on the lens portion of the minolta web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hohner Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Alan, the 200/4 APO macro will not AF with either TC, so the TC version is of no concern here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_greene Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Michael, as you have both I am sure you know. I was thinking of getting the 300 f/4 and thought it would autofocus with the 1.4x minolta teleconverter. My thinking was at max a 420 f/5.6. Similar to the situation with the 200 f/4. Ae you saying your 200 f/4 will not autofocus with the 1.4x? What body do you have? Do you know if this would be the same with an xtsi or maxxum 7? Thank you in advance for the help.

michael_hohner Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Late reply, but here it is: Yes, the 200/4 macro will not AF with the Minolta 1.4x TC, version II. I'm using it on a 7 body. The AF gearing automatically de-couples. Seems like a special feature of this combination. With a different lens (400/4.5 APO) AF works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
