Bit of a long shot but has anyone any experience of the above combo? Im coming from a D200 with my 70-200VR and noticing the lack of length :naughty: going FX from DX. Thinking a TC will help me out and gain me a bit in the process. I understand theres a drop in f number with the 2x but at that length i.e. 140-400 I doubt I'll really need f2.8? What are peoples thoughts, should I sell up and go sigma 120-300? Is there a noticable drop in quality using the TC? Is this new III version any better than the II. Sorry for all the questions, its not something I anticipated so didnt read too much in to.
thanks
Steve
 
I've used the 70-200mm vrII with the 2.0 III on FX and have had some great results. It's one of the reasons that I sold the 200-400mm. That and using the 300mm with the 2 x converter.
It's not a cheap combo, but works very well.

Is the Nikon 70-200mm VR the mkI or the VRII version :shrug:

Thanks for that Trigs, thats definately something I dont want, wonder how far you need to stop down for it to not be an issue??

Click to expand...

There are links within that lot which tells you...."stop down the lens/zoom out a bit/combine these methods/conclusions"

When I first read it I just thought it was just the one page :$ - but its not. The above are for the other pages....
