Looking at going up to a D3s this year but I'll end up losing length on my 70-200mm. Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on using a 1.4x TC with that lens as opposed to going for a f/4 300mm or even a used Sigma 300mm f/2.8....
Obviously the loss of a stop or do in terms if aperture can be in done way recouped by great high USO performance from the body but overall, it's a cost issue that dictates what option I go for to get the focal length. Anyone done those options and what were your feelings in using a TC to do a prime's job?
Obviously, the TC us the cheapest option, which would work best for my employer, but a prime (say a new f/4 or used f/2.8 Siggy) would offer me optional quality.
