Thanks guys. I can do fine with a 6.8 RAW file. Have just purchased a 300mm F4 and looking to go birding with a yet to be purchased D2X. Most of what I have been doing is ending up in 5X7 & 8X10 coffeetable books so a bigger file is not needed if i can fill the frame ( not needing to crop ) with the subject.
These are a couple of examples coming from my present setu ( Fuji S-2/Tokina 100-300 F4/Kenko 1.4TC): http://northland.smugmug.com/photos/490950925_TLDYY-L.jpg http://northland.smugmug.com/photos/491308758_QTBGF-L.jpg
Thanks again & take care. Bob
Hi Avi. Nice shot! What brand of TC is used here? I have had good luck with my Kenko 1.4/Tokina combination
but dont know if a 1.7 Kenko would be compatable with the Nikkor 300 F4? Thanks again for the help. Take care. Bob

The engagement ring I wanted to get for my now wife cost more than my initial budget. So the 300 f/4 was the sacrifice I made (and the 50 f/1.8 - but I have another one again lol).
BTW, if you were to look at the EXIF on that shot that I posted, it says 1000mm for 35mm FL equivalent (300 f/4 + 1.7 = 510; with HSC crop factor is *2, so 1000mm!)
Thanks again & take care. Bob
