[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 564106, member: 6277"] All distances need to be at 50 times the focal length. With the D7100 you need to be sure to factor in the effective focal distance for the DX factor and for the TC. Also you will need to set the Fine tune twice at both with and without the TC. Fine tuning a lens/camera is not an easy thing to do sometimes and you can't do it without transferring the shots to a computer.. Don't think that you can do it by looking in the back screen of your camera. Don't use a cereal box. Find a good target online. Stark black and white so that the the auto focus is dead on every time. If you could not tell the difference in -20 and +20 then you did something wrong. i have done this several times on several cameras including my D7100 with about 6 or 7 different lenses. It does make a difference. [/QUOTE]
