Kingfisher portrait (300VR+2X TC wide open)
From the past weekend with my friend Pepe Reigada. We had a lot of fun with this very cooperative female (Alcedo atthis) and I tried all the Nikons TCs with the bird. The performance of the 2X, at least the one I own, is outstanding in terms of image quality when the subject is near the lens and the light is good. The AF performance is, of course, very slow for the action but good enough for static subjects. I obtained no differences betwenn the performance of the combo at f5,6 and f8.
