 I purchased the Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS because if I wanted to use the x2 converter then I would still have good AF.
I have a therefore a 800mm f5.6 ultimately or if I put the 300mm f2.8 on the x2 then I have a 600mm f5.6 lens but on the 300 with TC there is noticeable softness which doesnt seem to be the same on the 400mm.
I always use the combos on a tripod if I doing bird shooting and on a monopod for motor racing.
