Wow....no wonder this is so confusing. What a mess. Mine has a blue dot. I noticed that it does not work with BIGRON (Tamron 150-600mm) on the 6D. Disappointed there, but the TC was on the market long before this new lens, so don't see a blame here. Not that I intend to use a TC with this 600mm zoom, though.

Not gonna lie - I'm totally going to stick a TC onto the end of a 150-600 once I get a copy.

Hehe...Just make sure you have the right one...it didn't work out too well for me. But if I understand what you're saying, I should try to tape pins? See, my 6D can AF at f/8, but the TC wasn't working with the Kendo 1.4x. I admit I didn't use any tape.

Didn't know the 6D allowed AF at f/8. So no need to tape pins. In a Rebel camera, AF would be automatically disabled if it is told it's at f/8.

And I'm not too concerned about AF, I'm going to order a microprism focusing screen.
