I thought it would be nice to have a thread where people can post there various lens with teleconverter samples, I always find these threads to be helpful when I am considering buying a combo. Right now to get any long shots my only option is the -Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR + Nikon TC-17E II 1.7x Teleconverter for AF-SThis is the VR 1 version of the 70-200 and the combo gives you a 340mm equivelant on a FX camera. Here are some samples -
100% crop
100% crop
The lens combo works reasonably well in good light, autofocus and metering both work and the AF is still fairly quick (in good light mind you) I do think at 100% there is some detail lost in the fur, but the higher contrast areas seem to retain a good amount of detail. Anyway the imported version of this Teleconverter sells for $399 at Adorama and gives you a good option to turn your 70-200 into a 340mm lens for not much money.Cheers
