Tamron Teleconverter Review

Tamron Teleconverter Review FAQ

What is the difference between the tamron teleconverter models?

Tamron introduced two teleconverter models exclusively for select Tamron lenses. These accessories make it easy to expand the versatility of the attached lens. TELECONVERTER 1.4x increases the focal length by a factor of 1.4x, while TELECONVERTER 2.0x doubles the focal length.

What teleconverters are compatible with the tamron 100 400mm lens?

Doing so allows the lens to focus at closer distances, though at the expense of long distance focusing. The Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens is compatible with Tamron's 1.4x Teleconverter (TC-X14) and 2.0x Teleconverter (TC-X20) .

What teleconverters work with the tamron sp 70 200200?

With their second generation telephoto zooms Tamron also offers two new 1.4x and 2x teleconverters (dubbed TC-X14 and TC-X20) which are specifically designed to work with the SP 70-200/2.8 VC G2 and the SP 150-600/5.0-6.3 VC G2. I had the chance to extensively test the Tamron SP 70-200/2.8 VC G2 (model A025) with the TC-X14 and TC-X20.

How good is the tamron tc x20 as a teleconverter?

It’s almost up there with the new Nikon 70-200/2.8E VR plus 1.4x teleconverter and if you can stop down to f5.6 the results are very good at every tested focal length. The Tamron TC-X20 converts the Tamron SP 70-200/2.8 VC G2 into a 140-400mm f/5.6 zoom.
