Although I've not yet tried it, the topic has been discussed here a
lot, and it seems that the Kenko and Tamron TC's , and probably a few
others, will work with these lenses. I'm planning to get one as an
intermediary step on my 75-300.
Interesting thread, you guys. I hadn't really considered a used 300
f/4 IS, but now I am, given the prices you're quoting. I'm not sure
how it would be with the 2x TC (600 f/8) but a 420 f/5.6 sounds good
to me. Is anyone out there using it as a 600 f/8?
Comes down to:
100-400IS
70-200 f/2.8L w/TC's
200 f/2.8 w/TC's
300 f/4 IS w/TC's
Did I miss anything?
The thing I like about the TC options, as someone mentioned, is the
versatility. When I don't need to reach out and grab a bird, I could
have a pretty fast medium tele. Only thing about the 300 f/4 is that
I sure can't see using it as a longish "portrait" lens, (candids, etc)
where with the others I can see it.
