Thoughts on using the Nikon TC-14E III 1.4X Teleconverter
Aug 24, 2018 16:04:22 #
I shoot a lot of full scale and remote control aircraft. I also do occasional wildlife. My latest lens is the 200-500mm and I have been really impressed with it. Today I purchased the teleconverter mentioned in the topic. I should receive it tomorrow. Can't wait to test it out with the 200-500mm. This will be attached to my D500. Anyone else using this combo and have any thoughts or photos to share? Below are a few shots I have taken with the 200-500mm.

Very nice work. I like the B/W Wildcat especially. 
Which teleconverter are you getting? There is a big variation in results, in my experience. I'd love to see some comparison shots adjusted for size.

Thanks! The one mentioned in the topic line. Nikon TC-14E III 1.4x.

Nice set of photos. You will find the teleconverter will slow down your focusing and you will lose about 1 step of light. I have the teleconverter and rarely use it on my D750 or D500. Do not even consider a larger teleconverter for what you shoot, as they will not autofocus with the lens you are enjoying. It may just be me, but I have found that teleconverters are best used in situations where your subject is at a stand still and you have time to fine tune your focusing by manually focusing.

That's pretty much my story with the D7100, D500 and D850 with the 200-500 and 150-600 G2. If I did not already have it, I would not pursue one.

I did not have great results with that set up, but it will work. so I left my telconverter 1.4 glued to the Nikon 300 f4 and works spectacular.
