We have Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII and the TC-17EII 1.7x, They are shinning and in the wright len for Basketball, Baseball (infield), weddings and graduation good sharp pictures only thing against is take a lot of pics you will find that the 2.8 is a little small and you will have lot of movement blur if you are in a no flash invirment also a little heavy. Best $2500 you will spend.

Ray and JoJo, the first photo is great. I too have a 70-200 and when I am out find that I just can't get close enough to the good shots. Am thinking about selling my bass boat to buy a 300 or 500. How many shots I have like the last two because I just don't have what I need. Someday. Anyway I would call the last one "Oh S**t!" cause it looks like someone is going to get hurt.
the first and last is the 500 mirror lens the center is the 70-200 the mirror lens is manual focus the third photo was there and gone before I could focus
Bought the lenes just to play, check the first photo. We were riding and saw 36 deer in a field about 500 yds start taking pictures check secondphoto two bucks chasing oneanother.Oh a good time to try the 500mm mirror, wrong check the third photo the two bucks rose on back legs like goats and butted heads check the third photo. the first photos taken with 70-200 2.8

My Wife is older than dirt, I know, she told me where to dump it when I brought (here come that old Kodak B&W)
Check your f/ stop if your shooting at 2.8 you need to check on a lens with larger opening (1.4, 1.8) not the focal length where your can shoot faster. 100-400 iso should be fine
I know because I am the Mule, 50mm f/1.4,18-200 f/3.6-5.6,, 70-300 f4.5-5.6, 70-200 f2.8/w 1.7 teleconverter, wireless remote, MB-D10, 4 EN-EL3e bats,SB-800 w/1 1/2 lbs conversion bat, Manfrotto tripod and head(metel no fiber for the bosslady)OH! she does carry the camera and one of the lens most of the time.....this is from donkeybasketball to mountain top. now since the filter ring on the end of the 18-200 fell off as she stepped back from 200 foot drop.
