Quote:I'm thinking in a similar way, I would prefer a 1.4 TC though. Add the 70-200/4 VR and you have a very versatile setup regarding focal length, but still rather compact. Plus the latest VR technology in both lenses. And you need to purchase that tripod collar only onceThe 1.4x TC is officially compatible, as it will fit and keep the f-value to f5.6. The 1.7x TC will not be officially compatible because it will get the f-value past f5.6. But it will fit just fine, and in good light most bodies will focus with it fine too, at least with the center AF point.
A shame, btw, not to add it as default accessory to the 300/4 VR... at that price.
However: I haven't seen the TCs mentioned anywhere in the press releases, so I'm not sure if the 300/4 VR is actually compatible with them. Anybody seen anything about it?
