Does any one know if the Nikkor AF-D 80-200 2.8 lens work with a tele-converter?
The Nikon page does not say that the lens is compatible with a TC, but I do not know what that exactly means: (1) the lens does not take a TC at all; or, (2) the lens can be used with a TC, but it will loss the AF. Does any one have experience with the 80-200 + TC?
I like my 80-200 but have two points of regrets: (1) It has no VR; (2) It does not work with a TC (according to the Nikon page). Sometimes I feel I really need a longer focal length so I am looking for the possibility of the combination of 80-200 + TC. I hesitate to upgrate to the 70-200 VR since the price gap is huge. I am also satisfied with the IQ of the 80-200 although I know the 70-200 is probably better.
Any suggestions and experience are welcome.
Best regards,
Frank
