teleconverter

Hi guys. I have anikon fs 50mm 1.4g lens and would love to add a teleconverter or more to obtain a 200mm focal length. How many stops would I loose? would I still be able to stay on or bellow 2.8?

You would need to put on two 2x converters which would result in losing the equivalent of 4 stops and the resulting image quality would really suffer. Don't even think about it!!

A "Cheap" 200mm would probably cost less than 2 good 2x teleconverters to get to that point and give better results!!

He could probably get a decent 200mm lens for a little more than the cost of the teleconverters with better image quality.

Go to http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2189/AF-S-Teleconverter-TC-20E-III.html and click the "Teleconverter Compatibility Table" link. Your lens isn't listed. Even if it worked, I don't think you'd like the quality of your pictures.

A 2 x converter will not give you 200mm with this lens!
You should read ecobin's reply once again.. it does not say "A" 2X converter. What ecobin stated is that it would take "TWO" 2X converters. This makes a difference in your perspective, however does not make your statement incorrect. Your subjection is right in that "A" 2X converter would not make the 50mm lens in question equivalent to a 200mm lens.
