One side effect is that you may need to bump the focus ring closer to subject to get focusing to start... Not a big deal...

Turn focus search off
Turn IS off

Focuses as fast as the 1.4x now… One side effect is that you may need to bump the focus ring closer to subject to get focusing to start… Not a big deal…

Sharp images....used a monopod and sometimes beanbags...had the most success with the monopod. Can be rented from lense.com if a purchase is not an option.

But to be honest Ben the 300 f4 was still awesome without the TCs and I very rarely need more than 300. Its a great stepping stone if a 2.8 cant be reached for a while.

It's a shame that you didn't have good results with your 300 F4. I feel my reach past 200mm is still not in sight. I have used the 1.4x on my 70-200 F2.8 and it was bad.

I used the 2.0x on my 70-200 with mixed results. Some great, some horrible, but perhaps it was just me. Glad to hear/see how it performs on the 300mm f2.8 though. One day that lens will be in my camera bag! My buddy has the Nikon 300 f2.8 VR II lens and it's just drop dead gorgeous and along with the new aspherical 2.0x tele it's amazing.
