I am amazed that this 70-200 F2.8-TCIII combo beats my beloved 80-400VR with a big margin about sharpness, and not unimportant, -and by a mile-, about AF speed...
But let's stay realistic: despite this amazing sharpness for a zoom with 2x TC, it's still quite far from the sharpness a 400mm nikon prime or the 200-400F4 can deliver...
Thanks for looking.

Very impressive Stany, are you using a DX or FX DSLR with this converter?
Thanks for the images & review.
Cheers

Having owned the 200-400 (since sold & upgraded to my 500VR), I know that it's not easy H/H for long periods, which makes the 70-200 with this new 2.0tc a very viable option.StanyB wrote: despite this amazing sharpness for a zoom with 2x TC, it's still quite far from the sharpness a 400mm nikon prime or the 200-400F4 can deliver...

Goodmorning Marc,
Thanks for reminding me, so I completed the title of this topic, I have a D700.Marc wrote:Very impressive Stany, are you using a DX or FX DSLR with this converter?
I tried the 200-400 F4 from Dr. Dusslier a couple of times and indeed, it's very heavy, but very sharp as well...Marc wrote:Having owned the 200-400 (since sold & upgraded to my 500VR), I know that it's not easy H/H for long periods, which makes the 70-200 with this new 2.0tc a very viable option.
