Tamron autofocus 2x teleconverter [Posted on 2008-02-26]
Was delivered as promised. In the condition as promised.
My only complaint is (this was explained in the review) If it is not bright enough light meter will not work. Must be a bright sunny day.
Information on Tamron Autofocus 2x [Posted on 2008-03-24]
This product was purchased to use on a digital camera. Upon opening the package, item #3 on the instructions states: This teleconverter is not designed for digital use. We do not guarantee its performance when used on Digital SLR cameras." This information is not presented in the on-line information or the Amazon web- site. Misleading!
Pretty affordable solution in absence of long focal length lens [Posted on 2008-03-28]
This is a very good solution if u dont want to spend $$ for long telephoto. This can be used on Digital SLR I use it with D80 one of the reviewer has mentioned mumbo jumbo written by Tamron which they have to because this is not designed for digital camera but that doesnt mean it can not be used. AF will work but will be slow and hunt so be prepared to do manual focusing. I use it for nature and wildlife photography and has clicked descent quality pictures with my skill level. I use it with Tamron 75-300 mm and this teleconverter makes it 600mm pretty descent range for the purpose of wildlife photography. It will slow down lens by 2 f stops so u will need very low shutter speeds or pretty good light.
In short it can be used effectively if you really know what you are doing and obviously something like this is difficult to use at 600 mm handheld so more often than not you will have to use tripod but when you compare the cost advantage it is a no brainer for a newbie or a hobbyist not wanting to spend too much.
4 starts because it is not a perfect solution but it is not even supposed to be so read it as 5 stars if you understand the limitations of this thing.
