no problem with that ,as i might have said before i use a d7000 plus a 300mm-f4afs lens coupled most of the time to a 1.7tc i also have a 1.4tc ,this gives me in effect 3 prime lenses of 300mm ,420mm,and 500mm respectively .the real beauty of this set up though is its versatility as by simply moving the focus limiter switch i can turn it from a 500mm super tele into a hand holdable pseudo macro ,in fact i often get comments on FLICKR like super macro shot etc.
anyway heres one of a hoverfly to demonstrate what i mean ,saves investing in a macro lens as i really have no interest in flys eyes or or spiders hairy legs etc .

Have you tried the 300 with an extension tube?

I quite often use a PK extension tube with the 300 2.8, it's very handy to capture small flowers at a distance.

:needsahug:

Will check out my stock... I may have some surplus, perhaps.

A cheap old TC and knock out the glass would do.
