That's a very good idea, Amita. Then you don't have to carry too much gear. I'm not sure how great it is to use a convertter with a zoom, though. Primes are better, but your lens is supposed to be excellent. Kenko's (Tamron) are supposed to be very good, according to tests done by FotoMagazin in Germany. They gave the old (MF) MC7 the highest (SUPER) grade.
Take a look at: http://www.nikonlinks.com/articles_teleconverter_review.htm BTW: I can also recommend the Pentax 1.7x AF Adapter (discontinued). It's absolutely brilliant. I have made professional (getting published) panoramas with this one and primes like SMC K 2.8/105mm, SMC K 2.5/135mm and SMC M*4/300mm.

I think I'm going to go with my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di and a teleconverter. Now I have to figure out which teleconverter to get. B&H has 2x teleconverters by the following manufacturers: Tokina Tamron Kenko Sigma (APO) The Kenko is the cheapest and the Sigma is the most expensive, but that one doesn't fit all cameras. I would appreciate any advice about which one of these is best optically. I've seen some pretty impressive results from the Tamron but none using the *istD. Thanks, Amtia
