[QUOTE="Silverback, post: 605585, member: 43255"] I'm guessing that issue is that this teleconverter is from long before there were electronics involved with the aperture (it has an outside ring with a pin and a socket to transfer what would have been the aperture setting on the lens to the camera body) and that there is no way for the camera to know what the aperture is and I'm guessing the aperture doesn't "park" at a specific location that I can work off of??? I do do some wildlife photography, but it's mostly from a canoe or kayak and I'm not willing to carry a larger/heavier lens then my Tamron 18-270/Nikon 18-140/Sigma 24-105 ART (all about the same size and fairly heavy for a "walk around" lens), so I don't think i'm ever going to seriously consider a longer lens so for those few rare occasions that I need something longer (lets face it, the Tamron 18-270 on the DX body works out to a 405mm equivalent on a full frame, which used to be a lot of lens...). It's likely going to be a teleconverter or nothing. [/QUOTE]
