When I got my first D850 in September last year, no AF with my 105 AF-S VR + 2xTCIIIe combo was a real bummer to me.
That combo gave me a lot of fun and decent results while shooting handhold macro with my D800 and D810.
A picture I took with 105AF-S VR +TC-20 E III on D800E, taken handheld... With the D800 PUFlash.
A screenshot of the AF area as seen in NikonViewNX:
And a 100% crop of the AF area:
Together with the lack of a PUFlash and louder shutter I sold my D850 and returned to D500 and D810 .
After I found out D850 now autofocuses flawless with that lens/tc combo, -very probably as a result of a hidden firmware update-, I bought a D850 again.
For the above picture I mounted my camera on tripod but in reality I use my 105+2xTCIIIe combo most of the time handheld, with VR on.
And first results with that lens/TC combo are pretty decent.
detail is amazing, even out of a picture taken handheld… (crop of the Original image here above)
Thanks for your attention and kindest regards,
Stany
Nikon, thanks for the (hidden) D850 update...
