Looks good, Eli. And the TC looks good too.I found what seemed a really good deal on an AF-S 300 f/4 D and a TC-14EII and they showed up earlier this week. Got them for less than I could get a used Tamron or Sigma 100-400. Still shorter than 500+mm, but I do like it. It's at the top end of size/weight I want to deal with. The bare lens is silly sharp at f/5.6. I was going to post in the thread I opened up to close the loop.
IME, teleconverters can be very dodgy. I have three, and only one is optically excellent. One of the other two is a cheap and nasty 2x. The other is a barely acceptable, highly expensive OEM Olympus FTs EC-14!
The really good one is a Teleplus focusing TC, 2x, for my film OM1. Cost around AUD 850 in the mid 1980s. Here's a sample on the back of my Olympus f/4 200, scanned from an Agfa Vista negative. Handheld, about 15-16 years ago.
