[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 814846, member: 46724"] In my experience, the minimum focus distance shot with and without the 2x teleconverter on my 70-200 is the same. Keep in mind, I've not tested every lens/teleconverter combo; in fact mine is the only experience I've had with any teleconverter attached to any lens. But this is mentioned several times from several of the big names on youtube that the minimum focus distance is kept the same. The only thing that makes sense from what Nikon says is there is literally an additional "something" between the subject and the sensor beyond just the lens, physically there is additional length and cant be truly the same. Can someone really tell by the additional 1 1/2" using charts and a tape measure? Maybe. IRL, no way. 180-600 min foc dist @ 600mm= 7.88ft 180-600 w/ tc might be right at 8ft if this theory is correct. What's 0.12' between friends though? edit It might actually be the other way around. If the space between is increased, it'd give a closer minimum focus. At least, that's how extension tubes work. Again, probably not perceivable unless shooting a tape measure. [/QUOTE]
