[QUOTE="AperturePriority, post: 51472, member: 9275"] Yes, you could use your Nikon 55-300mm with the off-brand teleconverters (tamron, tokina, kenko...). They are cheaper than Nikon TC but they work. The problem with zoom 55-300 is it too slow (f/5.6) to focus in low light situations makes it difficult to do birding. For birding, you will need a fast focus lens for better. This redtail hawk taken by a Nikon 300mm f/4 w/o a TC: [CENTER][IMG]http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7877/redtailhawk1.jpg[/IMG] Captive [/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
