Garrethe 2 Posted December 14, 2011 I was in the process of adding a Kenko 1.4 to my setup. I have a Nikon d7000 and using a Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro-Nikkor Lens. I have had 1 person tell me the Kenko can not be used with this lens and 1 person tell me it can. Looking for some guidance before I move ahead. BTW the person who told me it couldn't said the Kenko works well with the old style 60mm lens just not with the new 60 mm lens. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomR1 5 Posted December 14, 2011 Can't answer your question but I have a 2.0 kento I could try for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric black 1 Posted December 14, 2011 I dont have the 1.4x, but can tell you that a kenko pro 2x on the 60mm AFS doesnt work for autofocus capability- it does manually focus and that is what I do with it whenever I use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a WP thread on this. Bob Edited December 14, 2011 by Deep6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davichin 18 Posted December 14, 2011 That is correct: both kenkos 1.4x and 2.0x work with the older 60mm AF-D but not with the new 60mm AF-S (they do not autofocus). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fontaine 0 Posted December 15, 2011 Am I correct in thinking that if you add an extension tube they will autofocus with the new 60mm AF-S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSwims 31 Posted December 15, 2011 Am I correct in thinking that if you add an extension tube they will autofocus with the new 60mm AF-S? With the Canon lens yes. I have used the Kenko 1.4X TC on a D90 with the 60mm AF-S and it really struggles to reliably AF. Not impossible to use on static subjects but far from desirable. Just a stop gap for me really. Pygmy Squid taken with said combo. Cheers, Jim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimSwims 31 Posted December 18, 2011 Great shot Jim! Cheers Gavin, it was a devil to get a focus lock on it but made the dive for me. I certainly wouldn't recommend using the 1.4x Kenko TC on the Nikon 60mm AFS but it can work albeit in a unreliable manner. It was a matter of using single servo then doing a rock and release method.
