Hi All
After a comment on one of my pictures, I decided to check the focusing. I got a hold of a focus chart and tested it in back yard. It blew me away, Nikon 200-400 Vr on D300 body front focused about 1.5 - 3 inches in front of subject. Then I mounted the 1.4 TC and it was worse.
After reading the manual, the D300 has a AF Fine Tune function. So far a +16 adjustment for lens & TC and a +11 for lens. I am still not done testing, but at least its getting better. I can live with this adjustment until I get back from Florida, Nikon Canada wants my camera and lens for 3 weeks and I am leaving in 2 weeks.
All I can say is thanks Nikon for adding this Fine Tune Feature , the test shot accompanying this thread shows difference.
Thanks all Paul Lagasi
