Nikon Teleconverters

[erik_christensen3]

is it possible to use the TC-14E II & TC-20E II together with AF-S 18-200mm

1:3.5-5.6 G ED VR and have autofocus?

I am using the Nikon D300.

From the nikon website FAQ:

 

The following common lenses cannot be used with an autofocus teleconverter, this is not a complete list:

 

17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX

18-55 f3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX

18-70 f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX

18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR DX

55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX

Any 70-300mm lens

24-120 f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR

80-400 f4.5-5.6D ED AF VR

18-135 f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX

Pretty much you'll never want to use a TC with the 18-200 anyway. It would be too slow. For what a good TC costs, you can consider a good used longer prime lens.

Not only will you not have autofocus with the 18~200mm, but none of the TC-xxE teleconverters will even physically mount. As Matt noted, slow 11x zooms are very poor candidates for teleconverters.

And when you use a TC, that has AF, it won't work on that lens, just because it is too dark.

thanks for your response

 

I will be in the market for a longer lens then

The way I read the initial post, it seems like he wants to use both teleconverters - together - with a lens. I'm fairly certain that putting two together won't work with any lens...nice try though.
