Thanks Graham, it is a crop, quite a heavy one I used a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 with a TC17E on a D4

Geoff what is the quality like of images with the x1.7 extender and the 200mm lens? I have the TC14E-3 x1.4 extender, the new one, NO loss of quality with the 500 PF and it turns it into 700mm with loss of one stop. Some 8 years ago I had an early version and it was very poor not worth using. Your 200-80mm AF-S f2.8 is one of Nikon's all time best lenses and if you traded in for a 500 PF you would get a very good price. Sadly for you I have never heard or seen a 500mm PF on 2nd hand market.

Graham, all the images I have posted were taken with the 70-200 and TC17 and I have no complaints about the quality. The converter is a TC17E-2 so an improved one. As to longer lenses I am considering the 200-500 f5.6 an absolute bargain of a lens and hopefully suitable for what I want.

Geoff plenty of good reports for the 200-500mm F5,6 and good price at bit less than £1200. I also like and often use the slightly more expensive 400-80mm see my Kenya pixs on here from last year with that lens and my D500.

Yes Chris that's the one, one of the best lenses I have ever had. How the auto foucus worked at night on the Owl I could hardly see to frame the pictures! There was hardly an unsharp pix.

Agree Chris, but it is half the price of my previous Nikon 500mm f4 and nearly 1/2 the weight and size. Quality of images is best ever far better auto focus compared with my old lens and you can carry it round all day. That is what you get for first class results at a very reasonable price. Click here to comment on this image. Aso even at 79 yrs old I can hand hold it for flying pixs no problem, thats what you pay for QED.
