What A Pleasant Surprise
At first, I had reservations about buying this item. I own a Nikon D80 and planned on using it with my Nikon 180mm f2.8 D lens. Since Nikon doesn't make a teleconverter for the 180mm, I went ahead and bought it.

First off, I'm thrilled with the results. This item really delivers. Not only does it work flawlessly with the lens and camera, but it also produces sharp images. I like it so much I sold my 300mm f4 Sigma lens on ebay. This teleconverter gives me the equivalent of a 360mm f5.6, at about half the weight.

I can't stress enough how happy I am with this teleconverter. Bravo!

Inexpensive and works well
I was always nervous about using non-Nikon lenses on my D-50 and D-60 cameras. However, I was pleased to find that the Kenko 2X converter really works. Tried it on my Nikon 70-300mm zoom on my D-50; auto-focus works (beyond about 5 feet), does not do too well in a dark environment, does well outside in daylight, great for filling the screen with small objects at 100 feet or more. Took some hand held pictures, balance was good, focus was good, magnification was excellent, needs lots of light at full zoom. Try focusing (auto focus) at lower zoom and re-focusing as zoom is increased. Hope your subjects are cooperative! Good product, great price, works better than the literature claims. A good buy!

It works, with caveats
Kenko 2x Teleconverter MC4 DG for Nikon AF D300 D200 D80 D50 D40 D40x D70 D70s D100 D2x D2Xs D1X D2H D1 F100 F6 N65 N75 N80 N90 Camera
I have used it quite a bit with good (not great) results. I have experienced a slight fogginess in the photos. It could be just this particular lens.
It works with my D80's autofocus and has shown me how close I can get to my subject with the digitally corrected zoom of 900 mm (70-300mm lens [1.5 multiplier for a digital SLR] X the 2x converter).
For serious photos, I think that I will need a 1000mm lens without a doubler lens.
