p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · TC 17e III aspherical coming?


Is it? There were many posts about it some time ago, but never heard the next step of it. There is a version II for sale here, so..... already using the 300/2.8 with the 1.4 for excellent results. Should I get it or hold out..? Thanks for any info. Happy Easter; its friendly weather out here in the Low Countries aka Holland aka The Netherlands aka etc:-).

Go for the TC20EIII for use with the 300/2.8 VRII (if you need the reach).

I would think Nikon would do the 1.4 first...but I'd take the 1.7 III
in a heartbeat! Especially if the difference between the II and III is
as palpable as it was with the TC-20E's. I live with the 1.7/2.0 for
BIF on the Chubster, Nov thru Feb. Bring it...I'm in.

To answer your question, go for it. Could grow a beard waiting for the III

I am happy with the 1.7 EII. Will I notice sharper pics with the 20 EIII?

I have tested the 20 TCIII against the 17TC II and I would say they are about even in terms of sharpness. The thing is you can get shots with great IQ with the 17TC at f5.6. You may have to stop the 20TC down to f7.1 or f8. So it’s kind of an AF speed and aperture trade off. How much do you need the speed versus reach? To me I will take the speed at 500mm versus the reach at 600mm, but each to their own on that decision.
