There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had to return them and reorder another teleconverter. Hopefully it will arrive in time for the eclipse.
I mostly use this with a 70-200mm f/4 as I don't particularly need a faster 400mm nor do I feel like paying for one (let's not even mention how heavy a 400mm prime can be). In this particular case, it's superb and requires just a touch of sharpening and contrast adjustment in Photoshop or Lightroom. Focusing isn't super fast on a D600, but it's adequate. If I was going for better performance here then I would have bought a more substantial 400mm. I've also used it with a 300mm f/2.8 and I can get away without additional sharpening in post, but just because I can get away with it doesn't mean that I will. Focus speed is also pretty excellent with the 300mm (effectively a 600mm f/5.6). Overall, I'm pleased. It does precisely what I want it to, nothing more and nothing less.
I shot several hundred images in the field with a Nikon 400mm F2.8 VR lens and this 2x tele on a tripod with a Wimberley Gimbal head, shooting with a D600 at shutter speed of 1600, F8. Focus distance was 200 feet and beyond. By itself this is a very sharp lens, but none of these images were sharp, all were soft focus. Too soft for me. Lack of animal eye highlights was really an issue. After this I did a simple test comparing an enlarged 400mm image with an 800mm image made with the tele, and found the native 400mm image was far sharper and had better contrast. Example images attached. I finished my field shoot using just the lens, and got results I could live with. In all cases I was better off without the tele than with it, so I've returned it.
I don't think the description is quite right... I didn't get any cleaning set in the Nikon box.

1. TCs in general are specifically designed for longer focal length lenses; at least 100mm and usually 200mm and longer. They are not intended to be used on your 28-70mm!
2. This TC in particular is designed and will work on only a limited set of AF-S and AF-I longer focal length(Read that big and expensive) Nikkor lenses. Even then, it will not permit AF on a lot of them. Googlle Nikon's TC Compatiblity Chart.
3. There will be 2 F-Stops of light loss. This is a result of physics and is unavoidable. For autofocus and unless you have good eyes and aclimate to low light levels for manual focus, you need to use this product on a lens with at least a maximum f stop of f/2.8 because it turns this fast lens into a slow f/5.6 lens. What is the minimum f stop recommened for AF: f/5.6! So on an f/4 lense, AF is a no go!
4. With high magnification, technique becomes extremely important. Adding 2x magnification to a long, heavy, high magnification lens means mounting on a solid tripod or other platform and a remote or timed release of the shutter. It means reducing wind and sources of vibration.
5. A 2x TC paired with a XXXmm lens will never equal a similar quality 2XXXmm lens in sharpness. Even with high quality lenses, you will be cutting the into the resolving power of the lens. A lens is designed to resolve an image circle of a particular size. By adding the TC, you are taking a much smaller image circle and spreading it over the same area. This is almost the exact opposite of putting an FX lens on a DX sensor camera and cutting the best part of the image out.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 1, 2020
Using this teleconverter with a 70-200mm f/2.8, my camera automatically adjusted the maximum aperture to f/5.6. The exif data shows I was using a 70-200mm lens at 400m! (which is somehow correct, letting me know that the camera was also using the tele at the moment of the picture.
The quality of the pictures is decreasing - fringing artefacts are noted on high contrast areas but in rest is quite ok.
The bokeh takes interesting shapes with this teleconvertor - I couldn't decide if I like it or not. But interesting.
Far subjects in the summer will look also interesting because the tele will accentuate the steamy heat from the road or the sand at the beach.
I was also fearing the (camera+tele+large lens) won't be a very solid setup... but the Nikon did a great job - you could hold only the body of the camera without having a shaking lens.
Basically, I would say that this add-on will transform your PRO lens into a normal one from quality point of view.
But overall - I like it because even if the image quality is not perfect, it gives me 2x of optical zoom and in normal lighting conditions, it produces sharp images with good contrast.
Mine is Made in Japan - I hope you get the same... ;)
