Default Re: Use of Teleconverter with the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR II

Not only that, but even a 1/4x teleconverter will slow your lens down to f/8 - too dim for the autofocus to work. You would have to focus the lens manually.

There is also the question of what the image quality would be like with such a combination. Teleconverters and cheap lenses or lenses with long zoom ratios don't usually work well together.
