: Re: Why doesn't my lens work? My first question would be, what kind of pictures does it take when used without the TC? When shooting normally lit subjects, i.e. not as brightly lit as snow. As already stated shooting snow is tough anyway and the reflection can fool even the best meters. That f8 lens would be become an f16 with a 2X TC...or is it f32, i.e. 2 stops?
Ignore the hardware elitists that take every opportunity to dis those who whose equipment they disdain and do not try to help.
