[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 613579, member: 7240"] Nikon G-type lenses don't have an aperture ring. The "resting" position for the aperture is fully closed, so the end result is that your lens is at its maximum f-number (maybe f/22 or f/32) and the TC robs another 2 stops, so you'll be shooting at f/45 or f/64. If manual lenses aren't a problem, how about something like a Nikon AI 300mm f/4.5. That lens is compatible with AI-teleconverters TC-200, TC-300 and TC-14, has good optics and doesn't break the bank. Using non-AI teleconverters or non-AI lenses can destroy the AI follower tab in the camera. Best to make sure your gear is compatible before using them, or perhaps better to just stick to AI or AI-S manual focus optics. [/QUOTE]
