Has anyone used this combination with success? I don't want to experiment if I will be screwing up the inner workings of the camera.
Could you please tell me what kind of success you have had with this combo? Are you also using a tripod with this setup? And maybe post a shot or two.
Thanks

Hi Don,
I've used that combination successfully. The only caveat is that autofocus is very slow, expecially in low light. The VR works but is also slower to kick in but that's not a problem for me since I use a tripod with that setup. Here is a sample image.
Cheers,

AF will be useless, but if the light is decent you can get nice shots with it. I wouldn't try handheld though. As I recall, the D70 is basically an N80 body, and I know for a fact the Kenko Pro 300 1.4x will work on an N80. I'm talking about the Kenko 1.4x that costs more than $160 new--the APO one. BTW, the Tamron SP is the exact same thing and is made by Kenko. I would look for one on eBay.
