[QUOTE="Silverback, post: 605569, member: 43255"] I know about all the problems with using them, I intend to go full manual (I'm trying to get a better picture of the moon), can a very old school teleconverter be made to work on the D7100? If it matters, maybe 60's, probably 70's vintage Japanese Samigon NT Auto Teleplus 2x that from my dad's very old maybe 60's vintage Nikkormat camera that I've been using since taking a photography class in high school in the 80's. When I try to put it on I can set all the manual settings but the f-stop. FWIW, The attached pic is one that I got last night using the D7100, Tamron 18-270, tripod and a generic (amazon) infrared trigger (f/11, 1/400, 800ISO, 270mm). I Not great (once I cropped it this tight it was only 800x800 and grainy), but you can see some features. I figure if I can double the focal length and get all the manual settings I might have something really usable. [ATTACH=CONFIG]244549._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
