[QUOTE="hark, post: 734492, member: 13196"] I have the 300mm f/4 PF and have used it with a Nikon 1.4x TC as well as a Nikon 1.7x TC. I prefer the reach of the 1.7x TC but wide open it is f/6.7. Sometimes I miss shots which wasn't nearly so much of an issue when I used the 1.4x TC. As you mentioned, when used with the 1.4x TC, wide open it is f/5.6. I haven't found any other alternatives that are as light as this combo. I believe someone here bought a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens and attached a Kenko TC. But there is a more noticeable degrading of images with that TC. The Nikon teleconverters are worth the cost when it comes to quality. But only you can justify the cost. [/QUOTE]
