Tamron lens compatible extenders

3 years 3 months ago #706286 by lkimpe
Hi, I have a Canon EOS 60D with a Tamron 18-400mm DI II VC HLD lens. I wanted some advice about compatability with an extender. Can I use thr Canon 1.4X or 2X on this lens? Or is the Tamron Teleconverter 2X Tx20 compatible?

They should have a list of what will work on the site.   Both Tamron and Canon.

Canon's "Extenders" are MATCHED teleconverters, so they only work with a select few lenses, as are Tamron's teleconverters. (Btw, the Tamron 18-400 Di II VC HLD model B028 isn't one of the compatible lenses.)

What you need is a GENERIC telecontverter. Kenko makes them, but you'll find them with nameplates from several companies. They're all made by Kenko.

Teleconverters affect image quality negatively.  Normally you will get better results by cropping than by using a teleconverter.

I had a 2X teleconverter that I referred to as the purple fringe machine.

But Kenko's 1.4X TCs are quite good.
