No more than 10-15 pounds. Thanks.

I have a friend looking for a good deal on a carbon fiber tripod. I thought someone might be able to offer her one at a reasonable price. If you have one, please let me know. Thanks.

Glad you're here

Yes, I had a 200-500 on my D500 and it was great but hard for me, at my age, to hand hold so I sold the 200-500 and replaced it with the Nikon 500mm PF prime. I use the 500mm for 90% of my shooting and the 300mm PF fills in nicely for closer shots.

Can an outside antenna compete with streaming and cable? The answer is yes. Though a TV antenna is a simple technology, it is highly useful. You can cut the cord and still get reception from some of the best cable networks in your area. A TV antenna delivers programming from not only the local stations such as ABC, NBC, FOX, ION, CBS, PBS, and CW, but also carries content from government, education, and other learning channels. Sometimes, if your location is sweet and you’re in luck, you can also receive specialty channels that you can only find on cable TV lineups with the help of an antenna. So, yes, TV antennas still work for picking up local channels and more while asking nothing in return.

Here's a link to check if or how many stations you can get in your area: https://www.antennaweb.org/

Welcome to the hog pen!

Outstanding!

Glad you're here!

Love it!

Splendid compositions! I especially like number 4. It evokes a sense of solitude within me.

Glad you're here!

I liked your link to the comparison which proves mine and Ken Rockwell's point. No significant difference from the TC-1.4EII to the TC1.4EIII.

Quote from Ken Rockwell, "The Nikon TC-14E III is essentially the same thing as the original TC-14E and TC-14E II, just with different cosmetics. This III adds a rubber ring at the back, but removes the mechanical linkage needed to use this with lenses with an aperture ring present in the first two versions."

You will gain reach using a teleconverter but as stated by others IQ will suffer somewhat. However, a few clicks of the mouse will fix this in PP. Your 200-500 f/5.6 will become an f/8 when you use the teleconverter and again PP programs can help this issue. I know others have spoken against a teleconverter but you must try one to see if you like it. My advice is to get a used TC-14EII and give it a chance. I use one on my Nikon D500 with the 300mm PF and 500mm PF and am very satisfied. Good shooting to you!

This lens is in excellent condition and takes very sharp photos. When mounted with a 1.4 converter on a DX camera it becomes a 630mm equivalent lens! It comes with front and rear lens caps, hood, manual, and Nikon case. The price is $1150+shipping to CONUS, Alaska, and Hawaii. Personal check or money order only . No PayPal. PM to do business. Thanks for looking.
