If you got the 70-200mm Sony G lens then this is a natural addition and the lens is not complete without it. It works flawlessly including auto focus with the Sony Alpha 100(and I assume the A 700) Sony SAL-14TC 1.4x Teleconverter Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

3.0 out of 5 stars The Sony 1.4X teleconverter does not work with the G70400 lens., October 26, 2011

Much to my surprise, the Sony 1.4x teleconverter does not auto-focus with the Sony G series 70-400 mm zoom. True enough, it says that the Sony 1.4x teleconverter was designed specfically for use with the Sony 2.8 lenses; however, it does not say that it will not allow your Alpha a900 DSLR to autofocus with another G series lens and the T/C. I just recently bought both the G70400 lens and the 1.4x Sony teleconverter to marry to my Sony Alpha A900, all purchased through Amazon. I am now waiting endlessly for my pre-ordered Sony A77 body in hopes that hooking the lens and T/C to this new technology will autofocus together. Hope springs eternal which may be the time that the A77 is finally released.
