Trying out the Nikon TC-20e III

I was going out the driveway today when UPS was coming in. :barb
SO in between calls I went to a favorite and reliable Turkey spot. I could see the difference in my view finder between new TC and my 1.7. Contrast and colors were better. Will be doing more comparisons later but very pleased so far.

Looks like the TC 2.0 is a good one

The 1.7 work well with the 200mm f2 , the new 2X III is even better. More contrast and color, AF is still quick on this lens. Tried it in better light today and it was even better, I am heading out early tomorrow to really give it a good exercise. Hope the sun will cooperate with some good light instead of clouds.

Thanks for the report. I'm considering getting that TC.

I cant vouch for the 400mm 500mm 600mm, but it is a dream on my 200mm f2 I am having to readjust my distance sense, it is only 60mm more but it makes quite a difference lots of wing clips. AF does not suffer but I am still at f4. I need to set up my lens fine tune lab to make sure it is spot on. I keep saying this but the color and contrast is noticeable right off the bat. I took a lot of shots today but now have to find time to process.
