Experiences with the nikon tc 2e ii?

I found a cheapish teleconverter, the 2e ii(the older one)

Price is something like 120 usd or so.

Does any if you have some experience with this one? And sample pictures would be great :)

The big question, I guess, is if the tc is too outdated to warrant the price?

I'd be using it with a d7000 and a 70-200 2.8 vri

Thanks

I've been reading a bit about the II and the III and most people seem to say "the iii is a good deal better than the ii" - but does that mean the ii isn't good enough at all?

I'm thinking, for shooting outdoors in decent light, it might not be a bad piece of extra gear? Although i'd be using it for moving subjects(dogs ands kids), i would think a 140-400 f/5.6 lens would be ok?

Anyone with handson experience? especially regarding AF speed and of course IQ.

It's an old'ish item, so i seem to struggle finding sites that discuss it, the iii shows up most of the time, when googling it seems.

Oh well, he got a 160 usd offer and sold it if course.

There were probably too many compromises anyway

Thanks for the feedback

make sure you state the brand of the lens too, for example is this the Sigma lens? I have the 80-400 Nikkor lens in this type of speed, and it is slow for indoors, and I would most likely not try to use the lens, you Don't state your camera, but if you can handle the old style AF lens, you might go for a used copy of an 80-200 2.8 D,, fairly fast for indoors use.

or if you have the dough,, go for the higher end G 2.8 lens zooms, but those are big bucks

mostly likey any zoom consumer grade lens will be fairly slow for you indoors, and adding a teleconverter will just compound the issue by loosing an Fstop.

What is your Camera type?
