[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 156112, member: 8705"] I would be very careful just trying a TC on any lens. On some the rear element can back into the TC.mi think the 70-300 is like that. Also, unless you are starting with something pretty fantastic a TC will make things worse. We have a Tamron 90mm macro with a kenko 1.4 on it and it works quite well, however it's a very sharp fast lens to start with. I bought a Nikon TC-20e III for my 70-200 VR II. This is the latest TC designed for this lens amongst a few others. In my experience which appears to differ from Dave it is ok, but after being spoilt by the bare lens the IQ is not as good, but acceptable. I got my TC for a good price so it's an affordable addition, but if I was a serious birder I would probably get the 300 F4 with 1.4 TC, or now even the new 80-400. [/QUOTE]
