Teleconverter Advice

[Ozk10]

Thinking of buying a Kenco Teleplus Pro 300 dgx 1.4x AF,to use with my Nikon D300s and Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 IF lens. (I know this combination works ok equipment wise ) looking for advice please on the picture quality?

I shoot with a Sigma TC x1.4 on my 150-500mm and the quality does suffer slightly, thats what you get for that extra range I guess

still get nice images though

There are a few threads on teleconverter which may help you decide if its "wise" to do so on the lens you have but then thats entirely down to you & its your pennies - some say yes & some also say no...

Might be worth doing a read up..

I use the Kenko. No problems at all. A very useful bit of kit.

I use the same Kenko 1.4x for Canon and there's very little image degradation TBH. There is some, specially if you get the exposure a bit out, but not enough to make me not want to use it.
I don't know much about Nikon lenses but with the Pro300 it even retained AF with a Canon 7D and 5D2 with a Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L even though it reported the lens as f8, which on a Canon only the 1D series should AF at f8, while the rest should stop at f5.6.
Bearing that in mind you may retain AF on the Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 IF lens you have.
