I've used the 2x converter on the D3 with a 300mm Nikon prime. The image was better than cropping the D3 image...just.

Using 1.4xTC the crop was no different!

I came to the conclusion that the 12mp of the D3 was the limiting factor when it came to heavy cropping.

I've gotten rid of ALL my TCs.

If I can't get a shot with 500mm and cropping, I need to walk closer.

Seems like it's time to upgrade the D3


That is my finding as well.
Nikon 300 and 400 with the Kenko DG300 Plus x2 and x3 provide some utility but if possible dont use. BTW quality of light and brightness does help. In gloomy UK results look poorer than in sunny Spain.
