70-200VRII+TCIII on D700 AF test-part 1-Easy targets

[Stany Buyle]

This topic is a continuation on this topic: Nikon 2x TCIII is simply an optical miracle.

I was in Blankenberge @ the Belgium coast today and the sun was shining , so it was the right time to do some more testing of my "magic combo".

First part of this test I called "Easy targets". I made approx 20 such pictures. The keepers rate for images that I quote as "decent" en better, was near to 100%

*Please take in consideration that I call this "keepers" for lens test purpose only, not to keep as a photograph.*

I choose 5 images out of these, some with a crop.

D700 & 70-200VRII + TCIII @ 400mm, handhold, iso800, 1/1600sec, F 5.6


D700 & 70-200VRII + TCIII @ 400mm, handhold, iso800, 1/1000sec, F 7.1 (This shot is underexposed because of auto iso setting max800.)


Underneath picture I did approx 5 times as separate shots, sharpness was 5 times very similar.
