I'm not actually seeing very much reduction in resolution, even though yes it is darker and contrast goes down. But wow, I'm looking forward to trying this on some birds at the beach sometime (plan an outing sometime in the first half of April). So, this is another example of how older Nikon equipment can be used to good effect with modern DSLRs. Also, and I guess I wasn't aware of this, the minimum focus distance doesn't change with the doubler so I was able to get these really close images of this angel whose face is only 2.9 cm tall. Let's start with the setup, taken with the Nikon D4 with 50 mm 1.4G.[ATTACH]79157[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79158[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79160[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79161[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79162[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79163[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79164[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79165[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79166[/ATTACH]And here are 100% crops of images taken of the resolution Angel....at 600mm and then the far right image is at 300mm.The sweet spot was at f16 (which is actually f8 on the lens).
