I tested TC's with a Tamron 150-600 mm a while ago and found that a comparable crop was better than a full frame shot with a TC. For birding and nature work I use a Nikon D5300 which has 25mp and no aliasing filters for 225-900mm eq. As a bonus it has a built in GPS, unlike the D850 which requires a dangle.
Dangle ??
That answers the question that Eric has been asking for a while.
DX using ccd derived x1.5 is better than FX with TCx1.4.
Errr....not sure I read it like that.
I thought 'full frame shot with a TC' in this context meant cropping an image from the D5300 and 150-600 without the TC was better than using the TC with that same combo to get a full frame image of same subject?
Which supports my belief that overall, zooms and TCs don't mix.
Although Graham says the latest Nikon 1.4 combines well (with only a little detail loss) with the 80-400
Graham is also pretty convinced that DX size cropped (in computer) images from the D850 are better than straight images from the D500....primarily because of noise levels. At least, thats what I believe he said.
