[QUOTE="STM, post: 366870, member: 12827"] There are basically two kind of photographers, ones who love teleconverters and those who hate them with very little in between. I am a member of the former. True they will degrade image quality, it is the physical nature of the beast. However, with very high quality ones like Nikon's, the IQ loss will be minimal. I just shot this with the [I]worst[/I] possible scenario; I [I]stacked TWO teleconverters together [/I] (my TC-14B and TC-300) with my 300mm f/2.8 AIS to make a 1020mm f/8. This is a neighbor's house about 125 yards away. The camera was on a very sturdy tripod and I went down two stops to an effective aperture of f/16 and 1/160 sec. I was expecting the worst but was actually pleasantly surprised. In the corner is a 100% crop. As you can see, the front of the intercom is still quite sharp, though the contrast did take somewhat of a hit, something that can be easily fixed in PS or LR.
