[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 139317, member: 12214"] I have a TC-16A from my F4 days but never really used it. I played around with it this evening for a little while on the D7000. I did not test it on the D3000, but if it works on the D7000, that is just fine for me. Personally, I don't care if it does not autofocus with my lenses, as long as I can focus my lenses manually and get proper exposure. I plan on playing with it this weekend and doing some real, documented testing. In my informal testing (photos later, during the weekend). It will focus properly with any of my af lenses with a focal length of 85mm or later. It's a killer with the AF 105 f/2.8 micro-Nikkor. It even works with my old Tamron 70-210mm f/3.8-4 with the AIS mount. So far, it seems to meter okay, but I want to test it in daylight, outside. My house is not that big. :) From my very casual test this evening, it seems to meter properly with the 85, 105, and 70-210mm lenses. The metering works the same way as it does with any of the AIS lenses. Metering even seems to work well with the on-camera flash, as well as with the SB-600 flash unit. I have not had the teleconverter modified, nor do I intend to. I just don't think it's worth it. I can handle manual focus. :) I also do not plan on using it all that much. It sure makes for a very heavy camera to lug around, especially with that old Tamron tank lens. More later. [/QUOTE]
