Is that the Nikkor 14 mrk. 3 ??... I have a KENKO 1.4 ,using on some shorter focal lengths incl. 24-70..35-70...70-200 f4.0..pcE 85 , not sure if I should look to the nikkor tc., but there is a 2nd hander for sale for reasonable money..how do you find focusing with it , is there noticable focus-lag ?
As Geoff said, be careful about compatibility. I used the 14 III with the 500mm exclusively primarily because that’s when I wanted maximum reach.
It is an exceptionally good match for the longer lenses with no loss of functionality apart from 1 stop of light loss. But I have to say when I had a Kenko 1.4 with it was perfectly acceptable. It was my observation that any loss of performance was more to do with the 1.4x magnification requiring faster shutter speeds ….and my failure to accept that, when hand holding.
