Did anyone check out his link to, http://www.peterpeterpeter.com/pages/bushhawk.htm

Looks pretty interesting, definitely get a few more terrorist calls with that setup me thinks.

Nice and easy (and quick) to read. Was thinking about a 1.7TC the other day. So many things, so little cash.

No not for me, I've just got to build up my muscles and reflexes so I can shoot all day with 80-200 and not have cramps the next day

It does look like a weapon used for terrorist. Bet no one can take it to a concert without getting caught.

Birdy my findings too

although i did shoot with the 1.7x frequently at f5 and thought the images were soft

I still prefer the 70-200 without the TC as i still get f2.8

Thanks Thanh,
Very handy information once I have enough Nikon tokens to buy myself the TC-1.7E
Cheers

Hmmm. How did you find the AF on the D2x. With the increased focal length you would still get nice bokeh, even at higher apertures?

yeah shot at f4 to get the nice differential focus, but soon foun dout f4 with that TC produces soft images, I wil lstrive to use f8 whenever i use the TC
with the lens, autofocus is still fast
