I can't see why it shouldn't work and yes, the 1.7x AF T/C attaches to the camera body, then you attach the lens to the T/C. It should also give you a degree of auto focus but you'll need to manually focus to somewhere close to focus, the T/C does the rest.

Hi Steve
My 1.7x is on my 60b 300 nearly all the time with my Ds and I love the combination. I would be interested to know which body you are going to use as I have never been very happy with my results when I have used my K10, this combination seems to produce quite a lot of CA (purple fringing) in my images.

Thanks for the feedback, let me know how you get on when you get a 1.7x (best of luck in finding one at a sensible price)
