A teleconverter is basically just a high quality concave lens that spreads the image wider, the sensor thus sees the center of this spreading. It is sort of like cropping and enlarging right in the camera. The result, in this case, is a doubling of the effective focal length -- a 200mm lens becomes a 400mm lens -- but you also lose 2 f-stops of light. F2.8 becomes f5.6.
I purchased this Tamron 2x teleconverter to augment Tamron's 70-200mm f2.8 telephoto zoom (hereafter called T70) on a Nikon D700 body. The combination then becomes a 140-400 f5.6 lens. The T70 and this converter cost together around a thousand dollars; but the Nikkor 200-400 f4 (the next thing better) is $6,000 and you get only one f-stop more light at six times the cost.
The good news is that it works.
I've tried three lenses on it so far. (1) The T70; (2) a Nikkor 28-300mm VR; (3) and a cheap 500mm "long lens". All three work well. There's not really much point in using a superzoom
The teleconverter includes a screw-focusing passthrough for your old lenses that are focused by a motor in the camera body, aperture stopdown ring and CPU coupling contacts. As always, make sure you have turned off your camera before adding or removing these things. If you do it anyway, you can remove the camera battery for a minute or so and that might reset everything. It did for me anyway.
Picture quality is better than expected, I would say excellent. No discernable chromatic abberation even at 200x previewing in Photoshop. Just a hint of spherical abberation. It doubles any defects in the lens attached to it so start with a good lens.
Autofocus -- In theory, yes, in practice it depends on the lens you use it with.Read more ›

I have posted some images of this teleconverter attached to my SLR for your convenience. See above.
First, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up. The pictured item for this product (as of today 5/13/11) is white with a black rubberized grip on it. However, recently Tamron changed the style of the teleconverter to be all black. I confirmed this with Tamron directly (you can too - 1-800-827-8880) and the rep said that as long as the teleconverter has a model number 300F on it that it's the correct "pro" 2x teleconverter as opposed to their lower-end 2x teleconverter.
As to my experience with the product, the quality and build seems great. I've always been impressed with Tamron as an alternative to pricier lens companies. I'm using it primarily with a Tamron 18-270 PZD VC lens and the extra reach is incredible (at full tele with the D90 crop factor the lens' 35mm equivalent focal length is 820mm!!). When attached to my Nikon D90 body, however, the Vibration Compensation (VC) is a little spotty. It will work MOST of the time and stabilization efficacy doesn't seem to be affected, but on occasion the VC will just no longer activate. A very quick and easy fix for it is to just semi-detach and then reattach the lens/telconverter (don't have to fully remove) and voila the VC works again -- if only for a little while. Strange issue, but not too much of a hassle.
When I contacted Tamron about the VC issue the representative informed me that it is because this teleconverter is "not compatible" with any VC lenses (at least Tamron ones), which perhaps explains the sporadic functionality. However, I usually understand "not compatible" to mean "doesn't work ever" but my experience is that the VC on my 18-270 PZD VC works just fine -- just when it's in a good mood.Read more ›
