Maybe ... I did not calculate, but simply read the values from the D3x's LCD <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />



In the end, there's not much calculation needed. The naked lens has an effective aperture of f/5.6. A 1.4x TC adds one stop (f/8), a 2x TC another stop (f/11).

I think that doesn't take into consideration the extra magnification. I first saw the equation I used in the MP-E65 manual. Things get scary rapidly at 5x magnification...
