Generally you are best to use a TC from the lens manufacturer... Also with slow lenses autofocus can be an issue bepending on your camera body. Your camera may be able to autofocus at f/8 with some focus points but will have to manual focus with smaller apertures. You are already getting the crop effect with such a lens and your crop body. That would put you at over 900mm FOV...what are you trying to shoot... you would likely need a good tripod. And I would not expect any TC to work that good on that lens...

Tamron made a couple TC's specifically for that lens and their 70-200 G2. The 1.4X is acceptable.

I’m using Canon 7D Mark II. I have a sturdy tripod. Canon sent me a compatibility
chart for their 1.4x and the Tamron 150-600 wasn’t on it. I’m renting the TC from a
local camera store and they said to bring my tamron lens in and they would check
it out.
Thanks much for your response.

Definitely would want to go with those then as they will probably give the best possible results with a Tamron lens.

Hopefully they won't steer you to the Tamron converters made specifically for that lens.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1278451-REG/tamron_teleconverter_1_4x_for_nikon.html

Good Luck with your testing...that is a lot of focal length...

Quite frankly, I wouldn't buy it again, but a nice sturdy tripod, manual focus and remote shutter release work fairly well.

Why does it matter where they are? They're not in Ct either, but UPS, FedX alleviate that issue. You can call or compute shipping. Or the good old boys down at the local shop may try something else.

Pro Photo Supply in Portland has a good rental department. If you then decide to buy they often reduce the price by the rental fee you paid.

I purchased my D850, card reader, and a XQD card from them. Very good to deal with.
