TC-14E-II Exceeds Expectations
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich I'm very impressed with Nikon's TC-14E II teleconverter which I use on a Nikon 300mm f4/D to gain a bit of reach. Although I'm not shooting targets using this arrangement the field shots I am getting are most impressive. If there is any loss of sharpness, it's negligible to my eye and others. The loss of one stop is the price one must pay for the additional reach and in those circumstances where reach is everything, it's a reasonably small price to pay. So I own, use, and would definitely recommend this particular TC. Another great optical instrument from Nikon. Enjoy!

Currently The Best, ie load distributing, Replacement to Stock Collar
𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐛 replacement for the stock Nikon collar on their 300mm f4/D AF-S. This Kirk collar is a testimony to, as well as a demonstration of, precision machine work. The offset load bearing of this collar is the only design that I would recommend. Included are the 'safety screws' which, when installed, would prevent the user from pushing the lens too far (to or fro) in the Arca-Swiss mount thereby jeopardizing stability while in a tri/mono-pod.

Perfect Lens but Plan on Replacing the Tripod Collar
5 von 6 finden das hilfreich Perfect with a singular exception. I luv this lens but am still healing from the shock of needing to buy a replacement collar/mount from Kirks. This lens is just a joy to use and produces impeccable images, beautiful bokeh, and is f4 fast. The AF-S design is snappy while focusing and the close focus distance is incredibly short (switchable to 3m if not close focusing to speed things up a bit). I highly recommend it with the caveat regarding the lens collar/mount. One look at the Nikon collar and it's not difficult to see the design flaw. The actual tripod mounting surface juts forward away from the load axis creating leverage resulting in the mounted lens having distinct 'shake' along the vertical axis. I can flex it between my thumb and forefinger when off the lens so there's no hope of it properly supporting the 300mm.
(NOTE: This flex is due in large part to the material Nikon engineers selected for this mount. If I had to guess I'd say it's an aluminum alloy of some stripe and simply doesn't have the rigidity to support the lens with this design configuration (ie jutting forward)).
The Kirk's replacement is a testimony to thorough engineering and distributes the lens weight across two support cradles (ie perfection). Just calculate the Kirk's Collar into the cost and get out to enjoy this otherwise phenomenal optical stunner from Nikon.
