3 years ago I was very impressed with this 70-200VRII+TC-20 E III combo on my D700, so now I'm interested how it performs on my D800E...

AF with this combo works like a charm on D800(E), -as expected-, also for birds in flight. "Keepers rate"(subject in focus) during this session was over 90%.

Until now only 4 images with 100% crops, all taken handhold in windy conditions. Most at iso 640 and F5.6... aperture that does not make me expect very sharp images.
This 70-200VRII+TC-20 E III was doing excellent on my D700 at F7.1.

No sharpening of any kind has been applied to these images.

This topic will be completed with more samples in the coming days...

Iso 640 and F5.6, 1/2000 sec. This picture was initially underexposed and I pushed 1.0 EV, which brings some noise...

Thanks for your attention and kindest regards,

The above image was taken with 70-200VRII + 2xTCeIII and is a 50% crop from the underneath scene, resized to 1000px longest side:



I am quite happy with this result. AF was doing perfect, also in the other 10 images from the same landing.

Looks very good Stany.
Especially the black bird
