View Full Version : 1.4x TCON

I've pretty much decided that my next lens is going to be the 70-200mm f/4L. I've also decided that, since I'm going to get rid of the 70-300mm Quantary, I might also get a 1.4X converter to give me some extra reach. I see that's a pretty popular item here.

My question is this: Are there lenses that the 1.4x won't work with? Specifically, I'm thinking about the 85mm and the 20-35mm.

I seem to remember reading something here that indicated, to me anyway, that the 1.4 converter would not work with lenses below a certain focal length.

Fact or fiction?

Take a look at the thread in this section about TCons. Its a sticky at the top of the first page.
Sorry I tried to paste the URL here, but it wouldn't link :(
