[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 657581, member: 24285"] Who knew they can be stacked? Google it and there are a few youtubes and webpages where people have stacked two, or more T.C.'s to get more reach. Well I only have two so that will do. I had my TC's out with my 70-200mm 2.8 Nikkor to see how well they perform (they performed well) But when looking for some advice about TC's I stumbled upon [URL]https://petapixel.com/2015/02/05/stacking-five-2x-teleconverters-create-ridiculous-9600mm-lens/[/URL] Oh my, not going there, but maybe two would work, like this guy tried [url=http://www.billmajoros.com/photoalbum/categories/new/Teleconverters/index.html]Tale of Two Teleconverters[/url] in a more serious endeavour. And he stacked the same type of converters I have (1.4 + 2.0) The teleconverters are the Kenko "Pro 300" 1.4 and 2.0. Here's what that looks like [ATTACH=CONFIG]279246._xfImport[/ATTACH] And here is my test shot - shot from one end of my house to the other, hand held. Lighting by a table lamp. Real test would have had good lighting and on a tripod. I did manual focus because it made some odd sounds when I pressed the autofocus button - but it did autofocus. I just didn't want to strain my autofocus motor. I wonder what I'd use this combo for? On this lens it gets me to 560mm (200x2=400 x1.4=560). But given I have a 200-500 5.6 I'm not sure I'd use it on this lens (unless I didn't have my 200-500 with me). But maybe I'll try it on my 200-500, then it would be 500x2=1000, 1000x1.4 =1400mm lens. And put that on my D500 and it has a 35mm equivalent of 2100mm lens. Woah. Maybe for something like a moon shot? Or ??? [ATTACH=CONFIG]279251._xfImport[/ATTACH] But now I know it can be done. Don't know if I'd do it again, but it can be done. I also stumbled upon combining an TC with a macro extension tube plus a T.C. - already tried my TC on my 105mm 2.8 macro and it worked great. Never thought to combine them there Hmmmm Another day's play. [/QUOTE]
