I ordered one of these. I guess I need a spare and this one is also taller.

I was just reading through the "Newest Topics" and found this post. Thanks for sharing it. The more I read these suggestions and work to apply them, the better my results become. Just a shame I didn't start this hobby/past time earlier.

You're going on a tour. I suggest you take those photos available on the tour. You don't have much choice otherwise, unfortunately. That's why I don't do tours.


Thanks everyone for recommendations, hints, and pictures. I'm looking forward to the trip more and more!

Wow! Those eagle pictures are great! I can hear the eagles talking about their meals and agreeing with Lee Greenwood about "Being Proud to be an American". Thanks for the comments and sharing the pictures.

Here is the email I received from Tamron concerning the TC. Hope it is of help
Regards

Thank you for contacting Tamron. With your D500 calibrated to your trio of lenses, you should experience seamless use between the camera and lenses with or without the teleconverter mounted. The new 1.4x teleconverter is compatible with F/8 type cameras so it should autofocus reliably up to F/8 at which point you may have to switch over to manual focus. If you use live view mode, you should be able to autofocus throughout the entire focal length however.

Nikon system cameras autofocus with the lens wide open.  This both improves focus accuracy because it increases how much the contrast varies with small differences in focus point, and it makes the image in the viewfinder as bright as possible when you're looking through the camera.

When you press the shutter, the mirror flips up, the iris closes to the aperture you've selected, and the shutter opens.

Different camera bodies require different minimum amounts of light to autofocus.  The better ones can do so with less light.  An "f/8 compatible body" is one that is able to autofocus even when "wide open" on the lens is f/8 as opposed to a more typical f/1.4-f/5.6.

When you mount a lens with a tele converter, you're reducing the minimum effective aperture of the lens, and so less light reaches the AF sensor.  That's why it specifies that you need a camera model that is able to focus at f/8 to use that particular lens/tele converter combination with AF.

When you are zoomed out all the way to 600 unfortunately with the light loss with the tele converter and the variable aperture of the lens you are no longer at f/8 and once you are past f/8 you cannot auto focus any longer. This may be your issue if your images when shooting over f/8 are out of focus.

Thanks for the reply. I will continue to research this; and in the meantime work on learning to better use the equipment that I have.

Recently I posted about finally getting the Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens, the Tamron 70-200mm G2 lens, and the Tamron Tap-in console. I've been reading reviews about this (see Topic above) converter. I've found positive and negative reviews and recommendations. Any additional comments would be appreciated. So far I've had some fun getting used to these new lenses and the tap-in console.
Thanks in advance,
Frank


My camera is a Nikon D7200.

You might look at the Nikon 10-20mm. it's $306 at B&H Photo. Inexpensive but pretty decent.

It's 04:15, I'm sitting in a cruiser on a quiet-so far-security from possible riot damage, trying to stay awake-so I'll be rambling here.
For about two or three years now I've been asking for helpful suggestions (and gotten several-Thanks to all!). Last week I finally got the "Payboo" card from B&H Photo and bought all the above. Substantially more than my first car, but I'll be 75 this year, so why not. So far I've updated, or checked on, the firmware on these two lenses and also a Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro. Then I've been trying them out in my basement studio/office/man cave. I need to get out this week to our nearby Metro Park and National park and try them out. I'll be searching through Hedgehog posts for tips on best usage techniques, etc. Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions and again for the past tips and recommendations. Sorry if it sounds like bragging, I'm just glad/relieved that I finally did it. my long-suffering wife may not be as pleased...
