The Beast and 960mm of glass

When folks ask me , what do you like about that camera, I respond with---everything! Today I received a TC-301. So I got out the Nikkor 300mm 4.5 edif and plug it in for a whopping 600mm of glass. Wowee! Then I said to myself, See if you can add a TC-16a. Yowser! 960mm of glass!!! Does not work well hand held. 600 was iffy and My hands shake a tad too much. So I'll be going out early in the am over the next few days(with a tripod) to see what I can see.
The answer is because it can do everything except the laundry and make dinner. I am constantly amazed at the capabilities of this fine imaging machine. Yeah, Primal Beast is right.

Take a few shots of the same thing, with and without the tele-converter, so we can see the difference.

No pics because it's in the 90's so no going out today but here's a shot. 300mm F/4.5 ed if on a TC-201and a TC-16a all on the incredible D7100. Weight, what weight??? Weight is this on the F4S, now that's weight!! Oh and on the F4 I get auto focus(lolololl) at 960 or the computers get very confused and start that back and forth dance. It's like a 16" Naval cannon It's a Nikkazooka!

That's quite a reach to focus when you have both teleconverters attached, eh?

Will be interested to see the results,my feelings are you may have pushed the envelope too far

how does it perform?

What's the smallest aperture you can get with that rig? I'd love to see some pictures...

Let's see some Birds in Flight pics with that

I'm curious as well. I love extreme configurations.

1.6*2*4.5 should be around f/15 if I'm correct.

The focus is a challenge but that's due to vibration or stupid little puffs of wind or a truck goin down the street. But I got this nice one of the Moon. It's with the tc-301 and 1.3 crop factor.

Not too shabby! Looks like you got f/4.5 on those moon shots... That's a lot better than I expected...

The moon was very bright so when I saw the results I was happy. And yeah better than I expected.
