kmsellin 2 Posted November 7, 2012 Hi Guys, Does anyone know if Nikon 105mm + Nikon 2X telekonverter with D800 works with autofocus? /M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diediealsomustdive 2 Posted November 7, 2012 As far as I know, no. Especially the AFS version. I can get the AFD version to AF with Kenko TC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted November 7, 2012 I shot this combo in the Red Sea in June and I was pleased with it. I posted some pictures at the time. But I'd only use the best lenses and teleconverters (Nikon 105mm AF-S and Nikon 2.0x III AF-S). Others will work but will be a waste of a D800. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRC 2 Posted November 8, 2012 Regardless, It is going to be a handfull in the water though Tim. The AF on my D800 is better than the D300 but in the water I find the 105/D300 bad enough - chuck in a load more mag and what, one and a half or two stops of light loss ? Alex could make a box brownie work in the water so don't take any notice of him. Paul C 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdpriest 115 Posted November 9, 2012 I've used a +5D lens on the 105mm, but, I agree, using a 2x TC is a bit, err, specialised... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E_viking 30 Posted November 9, 2012 You would be getting to close to your object with a 60mm and a 2x converter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
