And I too have an old 300 f4 AF Nikkor, and I found it to be great, like the 80-200 it being an AF didn't give me any real options for using TC's on it. I did use my Nikkor TC14B on it with great success. I got tack sharp images from the 300 f4/TC14B combination even shot wide open.. It spends most of it's time in the vault these days, but i have fond memories of using it!! :thumbsup:

i use the 300mm f4 afs almost all the time ,i use it with the 1.7tc and find its still more than fast enough for birds in flight ,its not so much focussing time as learning to acquire target that counts ,its also a good combo for close focus pseudo-macro work .the only thing really lacking is v.r so attention to shutter speeds is needed. the lens matched with various t.c.s gives lens alone 300mm,with 1.4tc 420mm and with 1.7tc 500mm .so quiet variable and also lightweight .

adding to this ,when i bought the d300 the seller had a nikon2xtc mk3 ,we bolted it on to the 300mm-f4 and it a/f with no problem on the d300s .so a good option if you have this combo
