Another good afternoon at Titchfield Haven with the converter in place and lens at 400mm 1/500 sec f10 at 400 ISO. This is one of a series I took of this Black Tailed Godwitt that was feeding just in range. This is about 1/3 of the image so to get a pix like this filling frame you wold need an 800mm lens!

But would it be as sharp? This new TC-1.4 seems to retain all the quality of the lens with no converter on board. The above pix is still only 1/3 of the frame but would produce a high quality A3 print, the true advantage of the D810 are now showing!

I think the old adage of not being too greedy with teleconverters, is ringing true as well. I've always felt 1.4 is enough....even before recent advances.

I'd love to test with my Kenko DG300 Plus x2 teleconverter.

Pick ma building like I did with plenty of well lit detail and shoot it with your 300mm with and with out x2 converter crop 300mm pix to give same left right and it should show you most of what you need to see. P{ost them for us to see please.

The x2 with the Nikon 300mm f2.8 AFS is a SOFTER RENDERING compared to the x2 crop. I need to test with the 400mm f2.8 AFS but I dont have any buildings within a suitable distance to test. I will have to find a suitable target instead!

I think Eric had a point about x2 converters it my just be a step too high and that is why Nikon have developed this TC-14E that I am so impressed with?

I have just sold my D7000 and plan a trip to WEX to do some shopping. I suspect this tele converter may be worth a try on my current lenses before I start thinning!

Would be interesting if it would work on the 500mm.
