Hey all, i recently found a good deal on a 500mm f4 IS and am now looking to get a body for it.I had a d800 with a 200-400 VRII, but sold the 200-400, will be replacing it with a 200 f2, and use...

I am not sure if it's common knowledge, but the nikon v1 actually autofocus with a f4 lens and tc2III attached, and it was overcast with snow, the speed was actually not extremely bad, and i am...

The images were posted were al cropped to the same perspective ( that of the TC2)Atleast that is how i understand it :) ( the post there was french)To me personally, it kinda supports my...

The shot from the Ostrich is really nice!I had the 1.4 fine tuned with the 200-400, I am not saying you cannot get great images with the combo, i am saying i didnt saw a huge improvement over...

Hey all,I have recently purchased the 1.4 and 2 TC III to test them with my zoom lenses.First I did some adjustments to ensure the focussing was as correct as possible.When i took test shots @ 15...

What kind of sport?I was in a similar postion,but i was looking for a lens on safari, so it was less hard to pick one.I still thought long about a 300 f2.8 and to get the tc 2III and 1.4 to...

hmmm maybe i will try with a home setup also, unfortunately i cannot make 25*focal distance in my home, but i think i manage 6-7 meters or so

yeah im really hoping they do an updateor at worst release a new adapter :/

ow no, that would be so dissapointing:(AF-C would have made this SUCH a winner for all of us that cannot afford a 600 or 800mm lensIt would be killer on my 200-400 , giving a nice 540-1080 @ f4

Does anyone know if the V2 will be able to use afc with the ft1 adapter?Or why the V1 cannot do it?I use the V1 as a backup camera now for the d800, or for that extra reachbut the thing im really...

hmmm im mostly interested ifi it will support AFC when using nikon afs lenses!thats the feature im really missing on the v1, any chance the v2 can do this?or will a ft2 adapter be released for that...

ok thanks for the responses, good that it's a non issue :)

SUPERB!, you just made me decide to rent this lens for my next tripand im afraid i will have to buy it shortly after!:P

hmmm would be nice if that was the case, but also making me panic!Well i didnt notice it @ 2.8 indeed on the 70-200but what worries me is i just recently bought the 200-400 vrII and if its gonna be...

oh really? hmmm thanks for that informationI will have to contact nikon them tomorrow during opening hours

Thanks for the responsesIm a bit cautios performing a 'wet' cleaning of the sensor, as you said it might not be that hard.But i dont have really steady hands so im rather afraid i do more harm then...
