Teleconverter Lenses I have a Nikon N65 with a 70-300mm lens. I'm thinking of buying a 2x teleconverter for it. Any suggestions? Does it affect the picture quality? Any information about this would be helpful. Thanks.

hey jessica, with a 2x converter you'll lose two stops,as long as you have plenty of light no problem.i have one for my 70-300,tamron,and I like it.given the price of a 600mm lense. downside,you'll lose a little picture quality,and even on a tripod camera shake can be a problem.also you can't use auto. hth sam

Sam hit on all of the down-sides of using tele's, but they do help to stretch your reach at a fraction of the cost of a comparable super-telephoto lens. I've never used a tele-converter with a zoom lens but I regularly use a TC-201 (2x) with my prime Nikkors. The issue of camera-shake can be minimized with a faster film,...or by using your timer or a remote device to trip the shutter of your tripod-mounted camera (if your subject isn't going anywhere).
