My Nikon TC extenders will not fit because of the protrusion of the rear element. It does fit on the Kenko 1.4, but the image is horribly soft. I have no reservations about trying the new 80-400. but only if it will work with a 1.4 extender, as I would like a 500mm. On those very rare occasions I can use my 500mm f5.6 Mamiya MF lens - used manually, attached with a Zork converter. ( Nobody wanted to give me any money for the lens so I kept it) I have an old 500 mirror that I try every so often. I have rarely been happy with the results. For most birds, you cannot have too much lens. Similarly, you can't have too much money. Tried mirror lenses, they lack DOF and a bit soft maybe the brand (sigma?) My glass I can control DOF. Nikon circa 1979. I bought it used for about $100. Every o often I try it, but have rarely been happy with the results. Ditto |
