less than thrilled

I have only had the teleconverter for 2 days and tried it with landscape, birds and flowers. I have an A200. It didn't work in manual or auto with my Sony 3.5-5.6/18-70 kit lense or my Tamron F/3.5-4.5 SP AF 10-24 DiII. But I really wasn't expecting it to work with those 2 lenses. It worked in both modes with my Tamron Di AF70-300 F4-5.6 LD macro lense. The results weren't as good as I was hoping but I was shooting without a tripod. I had to work with settings to get decent shots in different lighting, indoors and out. It worked in both modes with my Tamron SP AF 200-500mm F5-6.3. It wouldn't auto focus when shooting through shrubs or if various shades of green, from foilage, were in the frame on a sunny day. I had to use it mainly in manual mode. I shoot a lot of wildlife and flowers. So I still have more situations to test with. But so far I am not impressed.
