But, even so, AF performance is likely to be very poor because the one-stop (for a 1.4x TC) or two-stop (for a 2x TC) loss is a physical problem which cannot be helped due to the extra glass in the TCs.

AF is not working. do you think if i apply taping the tele converter, AF will be active on this lens even to its maximum range of 500mm?

more power to you sir…and enjoy shooting!

For your lens, I wouldn’t recommend the 1.4x TC either, unless you don’t mind focusing manually which you certainly can even with a TC attached.

Will the TCs work with manual focus in particular the Kenko 2x Teleplus Pro 300, or would you stick to the 1.4x TC

And, no, I’m not at liberty to disclose for whom the shoot is for. Besides, I’m not the photographer.

I like I like! Such a sexy and sultry mood. Very James Bond-feel in fact. I’m very curious what commercial this ad is for..but have a feeling you can’t reveal that :)
