[QUOTE="Craig Rogers, post: 427688, member: 37980"] [b]300mm f/2.8 VRII with TC-14EII/III compared to AF-S 80-400mm at 400mm?[/b] Hello everyone, I have just purchased a Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VRII (along with a TC-17EII). I also have an AF-S 80-400mm. Has anyone any experience in knowing if I purchased a TC-14EII/III to use with the 300mm would be a better combination than the AF-S 80-400mm @ 400mm? My thinking is that I could sell the 80-400mm and use the TC-14EII/III with the 300mm and then purchase a 70-200mm f/2.8 instead to fill in the gap left behind. As I also own a 17-55mm f/2.8 this would give me a big range of quick glass. Of course, the downside is travelling whereas the 80-400mm is small and light enough to not worry about carry-on luggage for any air travel and of course I loose a bit of flexibility of not having a zoom lens, both of which I have to factor in. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
