[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 168465, member: 8635"] I have the Nikon 70-300VR and my Nikon 2E III 2x teleconverter will NOT go on it. I also have the Nikon 70-200VR F2.8 which it works on just fine. I think the reason that they make the TC work on the F2.8 70-200 and not the 70-300 is because the lens is to slow. When you get to the middle and long end of the 70-300 the 2x TC would make it loose two stops of light and that is past what will work on a Nikon camera. With the 70-200vr F2.8 it makes it jump from a F2.8 up to a F5.6 lens which will still work on a Nikon camera. You may consider looking at the Sigma 150-500 lens. With the 1.5 crop factor 1.5 x 500mm that would give the equivalant of a 750mm lens at F5 to 6.3 and will work fine with your camera for under $1000 [/QUOTE]
