This thing has exceeded my expectations. Kenko 1.4 TC 300 pro. Ordered it from Adorama Thursday morning. $129.00 plus I paid 28 dollars to have it over nighted.

I'll put some shots I took with it later in the 200-500mm thread.

@Blacktop you have me looking to see if it works with my d7000-50-500 sigma. lol

I put it on my D7100 to see what would happen. It looks like If I want to use it on that cam I would need to AF tune it. Otherwise it focuses just fine and tracks no problem. However the reason I took a chance on it, is to see how it does on the D750 so I wouldn't have to use the D7100 with that lens.

I'm just about to put up some picks in a few minutes.

Honestly it doesn't hinder the D750. However I would love to have the D500's focusing ability. Here is a shot of a very small bird carrying off a skimmer.
Took me many tries and still I couldn't lock focus 100%. Maybe I'm just too picky, but if the AF on the D500 is what everyone is saying is, then I want one! LOL

I've been very pleased with the shots from that combination.

Just ordered Tamron 24-70 2.8 di vc. Debated and debated over it, a new tripod, new camera, or 70-200. Finally just pulled the trigger (I had $700+ in amazon giftcards I'd been saving.) Should be here Wed, hopefully I won't regret it.

Rounded out my lens selection today. My Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX Lens arrived today. I popped it on the D750 and took a couple of snaps out the back door and it is sharp as a tack

I always enjoyed seeing your 14mm images (yes, I know you sold it) and am looking forward to seeing what you do with this. :)

Not from me. I have a Nikon 14mm. ;) Most likely you will find someone who is interested in it. It's an unusual length and one that is fun to use!

I've just ordered one. Found a used copy in "very good" condition from a reputable store for £56 inc. postage to my local branch. Will pick it up tomorrow!

I got two of these sets last week; one for the MacBook Pro and one for the iMac.

I definitely see a speed improvement over the original configurations, especially on the MacBook Pro. I'm now running the MacBook Pro at 16 GB instead of 4 GB, and the iMac at 24 GB instead of 8 GB.
