Hi, may I know whether can I buy the Sony 1.4x TC to fit on my 70300GSSM?

And what will happen?


Thought of using this to take some bird photo near my place during sunny day.

Thanks

No this 70-300SSM cannot fit the Sony 1.4x or 2x TC. Physically cannot mount, due to the element protrusion.

Only 70-400SSM can fit with MF.

3rd party TC if want to try... (not just for this lens, but any lens you want to try TC on..)

1) check if TC can mounted,
2) Check whether or not if zooming or focussing will cause lens back element to clash onto TC.


For compatibility and AF-bility of Sony/Minolta TC can check

For 3rd party compatibility.. (old info, but good read though about element clash and why some lens cannot fit TC)
