[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 738510, member: 13076"] I've used a TC14B modified for AF with a 300mm f2.8 AIS lens before with a Nikon D800. The AF was reasonably good in a short distance range, but nowhere near fast enough for tracking objects and it would hunt a little bit. It was quicker for me just to manually focus than to use it. Keep in mind you lose usually a lot more contrast with a 2x than a 1.4x and I would only go with Nikon teleconverters as you are paying extra for a nice camera and lens and then reducing resolution and contrast a lot with a less superior converter just IMHO.
