[QUOTE="hark, post: 770942, member: 13196"] This afternoon we had a break in the rain so I took some photos of memorial benches and general scenery. Met a really nice young man and had a conversation with him about Nikon lenses. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]365658._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]365659._xfImport[/ATTACH] Since I will be photographing a falconry event, I decided to pull out my 300mm f/4 PF with the 1.4x TC and test it on my first D7200 (the body which previously had AF issues that @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-48633-peter7100.html"]Peter7100[/URL] gave directions on how to reset). This combo will be a backup or possibly used to take supplemental photos for the falconry event. As long as the camera body is set to AF-C with focus priority instead of release priority, the AF lock has worked [I][B]much[/B][/I] better giving me many more in-focus images. :encouragement: I even focused on seagulls that were pretty far away.
