[QUOTE="J-see, post: 462459, member: 31330"] I can't tell you how the 300mm performs with a TC since I always shoot the lens without but the Tamron is no match at any focal length without so I assume it not to be different with a TC1.4. But you have to keep in mind that the cam also is a link in the chain and might have a lot of influence in how severe the differences are. I'm mostly shooting my D810 these days and any difference in lens quality gets magnified by that cam. On my D7200 it makes less difference. Since you're shooting DX and have the crop factor advantage, you can always down-sample the shots of the Tamron and in doing that boost the quality to a degree. I rarely have that luxury on an FX. In regards to light you might ask Mike who shoots similar conditions. I'm at the other side of your water and there's a pretty long period of the year the Tamron isn't cutting it. It's not just the light getting low, it's also the focus getting slow. Wintertime BiF isn't an easy thing here. [/QUOTE]
