Nikon D300 & Ais 500mm f/4P & TC1.4x ISO 400 1/125sec @ f/11 (Right click on the image and open in a new window to see more details)
Late January 2009, its cold and wet. I'm using my workhorse D300 and Ais 500mm f/4P lens. I also have with me my modified TC1.4x. The converter on the lens gives me 700mm at f/5.6. On the DX sensor thats the equivalent of 1050mm. Thats a lot of telephoto power.
Now unfortunately, some people think that with an expensive telephoto you can win the distance! Wrong, you still need to get close - thats what its all about, unless you get close, you wont be able to get the detail, the 3D effect, the milky OOF backgrounds or the intimate shine on the eye.
