[QUOTE="Chris Cotton, post: 546814, member: 41941"] Hi, I' have a d7200, a Nikon 1.4tc II teleconvertor and a Nikon 500mm AFS ED II. All were bought second hand and I'm having a real problem. The lens and body work fine together, but add the tc and often autofocus won't work and within the lens (this is looking inside the drop in filter) I hear this. See the aperture on the top screen flicking between f4 and f5.6: [url]https://goo.gl/photos/yQR16pNunqtqTtPP9[/url] To add, the combo often works and then will suddenly do this. Sometimes fiddling with the TC (there's a bit of give between body and TC /TC and lens) fixes it, sometimes not. Sometimes taking the TC off the lens fixes it, sometimes not. Sometimes for love nor money I can't make the problem occur and sometimes I just can't fix it at all for a while! I've only had each piece of equipment about a week and noticed this the first time I added the TC into the mix on saturday... For 6 hours I used the body and lens with no issue. So it sounds like the TC is the problem..but I've tried 2 other TCs of the same type and all show the same problem. I've tried the same setup with an old d5000 and my TC and there's no issue. This would suggest the camera, but the body plus my TC on someone's 600mm VR works fine! I go on another forum and have found one person who had the same issue with a new body, TC and old lens combo. I'm trying to get to the bottom of the issue so I wondered if anybody else had come across this compatibility issue? The guy I said about even sent his stuff to Nikon, they changed the connectors etc and 12 months later nobody at Nikon has an answer. I've cleaned all the connections but no help. Thanks for any help anybody can shed on this. [/QUOTE]
