Will this work on Sigma 170-500mm f5-6.3 APO lens for Nikon? Does anyone know the power on this model - is it 100-240V (which means it will work worldwide with a simple converter plug)?

Using Sigma's compatibility chart for Nikon mounts, your lens is NOT included. The prime 500 mm lens is included, but not your 170-500mm zoom lens. Since this is a DEDICATED converter you will probably have poor results with your lens.

This adapter will work with all Nikon F mount lenses. There are no electrical connections to the camera so all lense will act as manual only. You would need to set speed and aperture manually.

I have used this lense for a couple of years on the Nikon D5100 with no problems - it works fine and gives excellent results. As all Nikon lense fittings are compatible I assume they send you the wrong lense fitting.

Not having this zoom lens, I cannot answer. If Sigma claims it needs an 85mm thread, it ought to work.

Funny you should mention that! I got the converter for my (Canon Mount) Sigma DG 70-300 mm lens. The converter fits the camera nicely but t didn't fit the Sigma lens! Waiting for an answer from Sigma. I can tell you this: if the lens element closest to the camera mount is flush or protrudes from the lens it WILL NOT fit the 2x converter.

I've used it on an XE-1 and with various Nikkor lenses, as well as a 70/2.8 Sigma. Works fine. IMO, the three 'stops' work best when used to 'tweak' shutter speeds with a constant aperture.

i can't say anything about d3300. but i can say that i tried it on my d5100 and d750 with it on a nikon 18-300mm dx and 28-300 fx. auto-focus somewhat worked, very slow. like many other comments indicated here this converter works the best with the lens with larger apertures. in my case 28-300mm is at f/3.5-5.6. with this thing on it becomes f/7-11. and i guess if you are like me you want to buy it to extend your longer end. therefore at f/11 it is practically of little use to anybody. if you have a nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 it probably is worth a try.

I have no idea as I have never used a Sigma lens. I know with my Tamron... I do get good shots with it. Only problem is using it runs my battery down faster. Sorry couldnt help, but I love mine.

I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer, Chaik George. This lens was purchased for use on several Nikon SLR's and DSLR's. You may want to contact the Sigma corporation to see if it's the same mount for your Samsung camera. Their website is www.sigmaphoto.com. Good luck.

I do not know. I have only used it on my D5100 and I am satisfied with the results. Keep It in mind though, there has to be a reason why a lens like this costs what it does as opposed to one AF-200 to 500 mm that costs over $10,000. Depends on what you are going to use it for. Best bet is to buy it and give it a go. The good thing about purchasing on Amazon if you aren't satisfied you can always return it. Just file a complaint with Amazon, they have a place for you to do that, it goes to the seller by hitting submit and you get an almost immediate answer. I did it with something else on Amazon and got my money refunded within 30 minutes. Of course with this you would have to return this but you can bet they will provide either a FedEx or UPS label for you to affix to the box. You have nothing to lose.

JohnI used a Minolta to Canon converter to use my old Minolta MD Rokkor manual lens on my digital Canon. It worked fine. I'm pretty sure that the converter will work for your sigma lens but caution as to whether the AF will work. It's probably still worth buying the converter and trying it as you have a good lens that would otherwise go to waste. Hope this helps. Neil

I can not say, with any certainty. However, the Sigma teleconverters are half the price of Nikon's but they do not play well with Nikon lenses.

Yes, it should work with almost any lens from Nikon, Cannon, Sigma or Tamron. It comes with adapters for 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, and 77mm diameter lenses.

It works just fine on my D90. I like it best for portraits and close up macro shots where I want to flood the object with light. When I bought mine, I questioned it's ability for use with nikon because it was pictured with a canon. The unit comes with many lens adaptors so it can be mounted to just about any lens.

It worked with a D800, so I'd try it. I had to return it because the plug for the body would not clear between body and sigma 8mm plus r10 pano rotator I was using for pano photos. For typical lenses this will not be a problem.

Yes. This lens is an FX lens, one of Nikon's full-frame line, so it is designed to work on cameras like the D610 (of course, it will also work on the smaller, APS-C sensor cameras as well).
