Tell her xmas is coming:D

Careful with the TC with the f/4. You loose one stop on the 1.4x which drops it to f/5.6.

On the D80/D90/D200 this is about the limit of the AF sensor. The TC17 EII is optically better but would drop the lens to f/6.7 which would be too low a lighting. I think the D300s/D700 have a better AF sensor than the D200 though so they may be OK with this. I know the D3s certainly does.

Read heaps on this combo (300mm with 1.4tc) and it retains sharpness - but yes it does stop it down. Im sure if I told her about sharpness, she would show me what sharpness meant in her language :P

Should have no probs now with my D300s ;)

The 300 f/4 with the TC 1.4 it is very good. I would not use the 1.7 for a avian sharp image regardless of which type of camera it is used.

Its Murphy's Law. The best prices and deals can be had when you have no money. I really want a camera, but when I get some cash saved up God smites me and breaks one of the cars. AAAAAARRRRRRRGHHH!!! indeed :(

Thats what usually happens!!! Best of luck Ace

Well being a typical male, I didn't use the manual and I worked out how to set the time and date etc

managed to take some photos, you have to tell the camera you want to use the flash it doesn't work automatically (started reading the manual)

Now I have been a member of AULRO for umm years and have never posted a photo because i am obviously limited in my brain capacity to do something that everyone else can do. i know there is a post on here somewhere about it so i am now going to go hunting for info and post up a couple of photos. I haven't started playing yet so it is all auto at this stage.
