[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 533971, member: 24569"] LOL. Read the other comments in this thread. It doesn't meter where the f-stop is set for the shot, it matters what the wide open f-stop is. The TC reduces the effective f-stop as a factor of the magnification of the TC. The TC14EII will work because it will make the f/5.6 200-500 effectively f/8 300-750. Your camera can still reliably autofocus at f/8. Also, though, be aware that not all of your focus points will work at f/8. According to what I just saw on the Nikon site, there are 11 focus spots that will function at f/8 on the D800.
