I just picked up a Kenko MC7 DG 2x Teleconverter which I've tried on my D90/D700 with:
- Tamron 70-300 f4-5.6
- Tamron 70-200 f2.8
I tried these out quickly yesterday, on the tripod (unfortunately I don't have the pictures to hand just now, but may post them up later) and even chimping the images from the camera, I was surprised to see how soft they were, even upping the aperture to about f10/f11 and fine tuning the focus manually.
The results were more acceptable with the 70-200/f2.8.
I do know to expect a degradation of image quality using a 2x Teleconverter, but the results didn't seem worth getting out of bed for!
Convince me that it's better holding onto the 70-300 and/or the teleconverter!?!
Might find I just invest in a better longer lens, quite fancy doing some birding and some motorsport photography at some point in future.
