Graham, the Bald Eagle, our national emblem in US, was photographed with the same lens as yours but with
a NikonAF-S teleconverter TC-20EIII. From what I read, Kinko makes a good teleconverter. I have a set of Kinko extension tubes for close up work and their construction quality impressed me. If I were buying a third party teleconverter, it would be Kinko. Get out and practice on the birds in your area.
Have fun,
George

Graham, the 2X Kenko extender should do well. I use my Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 D with the newer Nikon 2x extender to give me 600mm of reach on a D500 with good results
Wow wee !!!! Going to have fun.

Great lens. I've had one since 2006 and I will not part with it. But on a cropped sensor camera it gives you the perspective of an 80-200, but with the crop factor your field of view will be similar to a 120-300. Perspective is always a function of distance to subject, not focal length. I also have the Kenko Pro 300 1.4x and 2.0x extenders. The 1.4 is quite good and AF performance remains useable. The 300 is not so great.
Going to give the Kenko 2x a go let's see how it focuses or not !?

Graham, if it's 200mm on the long end then you've got the perspective of 300mm on your Nikon DX crop sensor camera! Anyway, it's a great deal on a wonderful piece of glass that's built like a tank. I have had one for many years now and never considered trading up to the 70-200 that replaced it.
Here's a sample portrait I just shot with it!

Wow ! Seems my first thoughts about based on just a few quick photos were spot on !?

Couldn't say no ! It has very minor cosmetic damage but optic fine ,got it off eBay inc of P&P for £130 !!!
Only taken a handful to date ,but by Christ this looks very much like a keeper,it's 380 mm on my d7100'and with Kenko pro 300 on as well it will be ( not tried that yet ) a massive 760 mm equivalent !!!
Any body use one of these ?

It looks like the flash is near or on the camera, and directly aimed at the cat.
Try bounce light - much more flattering.

Agree have tried bounce and am going to move on to different position light and maybe tw light setup.

These look pretty dawn good to my old eyes,the end product meaning more to me than the specs and what might work with it.

Sorry I forgot to say a Nikon d7100 and as for what lens,well it seems the Kenko 2x proo 300 dg is reported to work on a lot of lens it shouldn't strictly speaking if you read the Kenko paperwork.
I shall be trying it with one such lens Sigma 70-300 f 3.5-5.6 with focal lengths that should,not work,again according to specs,
Time will tell, as will trial and error presumably .
