If this topic has appeared elsewhere, apologies.
I have a sigma 70-300 DG Nikon fit lens. I keep being told that no converter will fit and give good results, sad to say even sigma told me this. But I'm clutching at straws and hoping someone knows better. Can anybody help me or do I have to start selling body parts to buy a 150-500 ?.

If you have a nose around on ebay, You might find some third party teleconvertors in the Nikon F mount.

These cheap convertors have no electrical contact between the camera & the lens, So you have to work manual Focus & Aperture.

Assuming your lens has an aperture ring, Then generaly you can use them with almost any lens.....

HOWEVER as StrayCat has said the image quality will be awful at best, But if you can pick one up for under £20 on Ebay, Then you can find out for your self.

Or try your luck with one of the many " Mammoth " focal range lens to be found on " Fleabay " for around £100 quid, They are rubbish though.....

Personally I'd start advertising the body parts and get something that will actually reward your efforts.
