Thanks a million because that's a question I have bugging me for a while as well about the kenco. I have the 1. Based on the quality I have been getting with that combo, I have been thinking hard about trying a go at the Kenco 2X TC but have been afraid due to bad reviews about 2x TCs in general. My concern is the Image quality though. I love image quality What else am I going to do to get at least a reach.?

Below is a shot I took with my f2. This bird was not flying though but with this image quality that is why I am tempted to try and go for the 2x converter to try and get more reach and see how much image quality i will loose Food for thought. Nikon F2. The Nikon Z mm F2.

I'm not sure if I need the 2x and loss of 2-stops , but I'm open to either. I posted similar question few days ago regarding the F2. Looking forward to replies. Cheers Ray. The current TC's 1. I believe some folks have had success removing the tab, but then you get the magnification but don't get AF.

Well like I quoted in my original post I've No experience with TCs but I was checking this out on the Nikon site, so hope some of the members here who actually use any of these will Help us out.

I had been using the Kenko Pro 1. It is slightly slower but you develop a style after awhile. I used it with my 85 1. But I've used the Kenko Pro 2x with my It had the best opinions from my research. The results are good but not great. Partly, I think, it's the limit of the I've also used it on my 2. There is also a new version out and a 1. The Kenko 1. I use this combo for my airshow shooting and I have what I consider very good results.

Question for bwag. Reason I ask is that I've just added a D3 to my arsenal, but the is now too short for serious wildlife shooting. Whilst I appreciate that the 2x converter would result in a loss of image quality, how bad actually is this? I know I could get the 14x Kenko, and that seems to have some good reviews, but that would still only get me a mm F4. With a 2x it would be a mm f5. Obviously I would love a mm f. The other option is a mm F4 with the 1.

Nikon t. I believe you can modify a Nikon t. The IQ wasn't bad, but probably not up to the level of a more recent teleconverter. I didn't mind the loss of autofocus, but you might. For me, definitely worth it in a pinch. I own and use the Kenko Pro mm teleconvertors with this lens, for sports and for other purposes. Both work fine. If you insist on Nikon, the 1. For most sports this range is ideal.

The money you save you could put into a Kenko 2X for those few times you need the reach. A couple of NIkon bodies All the glass I need Manfrotto pods and clamp system Enough software to still be only half-way up the learning curve. Which also shows mm is barely long enough at about feet away on my D The EXIF say is was f4 so effective f8 mm mm.

I'd say it's pretty good but if you pixel peep well I'm curios why you're looking at the ? As a general telephoto it's great quality for the money. And the TC is a reasonable compromise to extend it's reach.

But if it's wildlife photography then I'd look to something longer. I bought a used f2. It's heavy but the quality is superb.

Why they never updated their TC's in the early 90's to allow for autofocus with AF-D lenses particularly this one is beyond me. It is obviously not technically difficult or expensive as evidenced by the availability of cheap third party TC's.

Nikon has basically abandoned this segment of their users and left it to the independents. Fortunately there are some good third party alternatives. These are actually the exact same TC probably built by Tamron with Hoya glass?

Make sure the converter you buy has "Pro " or "SP" in the model designation. Both companies make a couple of models each of 1. Michael R Freeman , Feb 25, I use the D70S body. Would the TC16a work? I don't have the D70s; so, I don't know, but the best way is to check your manual for compatible lenses and TC. For instance, the TC16a does not provide auto focus or 3D matrix metering with the D Page of your instruction manual the very first item on the "Incompatible Accessories" list.
