[QUOTE="J-see, post: 476746, member: 31330"] I tried the Nikon TC2.0 on the Nikon 70-300mm when I started with my D3300. I seemed like a good idea to invest 500 bucks and end up with a 600mm. I had a 600mm indeed but it surely wasn't as great an experience as I imagined it to be. The problem with the D3300 (and your D3200) is that they don't perform that well in low light. By adding a TC2x, I had to shoot at a minimum of f/11 but since I also required at least a shutter of 1/900s (focal length x TC increase x crop factor), it became painful quite fast. Manual focus only and too demanding to the system which forced me to start increasing the ISO to such a degree the results were disappointing. On a good day with a tripod and some luck I could get reasonable shots but all in all, I wasted 500$ I had better invested into something else. [/QUOTE]
