Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me some info on a TC-14A, and my Nikon D80

I wanted to use the TC-14A with my 70-300 so I can get 1.4x mag. could this work good?? Does the lens have to be a Nikon lens? Is there any other T.C. that I can use with this camera that would give me more MAG.?? And give me a good picture at the same time. If the T.C. it will ruin the photo then forget it. I am trying to avoid buying a 80-400 where they are over a thousand dollars. Can someone please help me out here steer me in the right direction to tell me what I should do. Thank you

Frankly, I'm not much a fan of teleconverters. The tradeoffs of a loss of 1-2 stops of light, barrelling at the extreme range of the lens, and a loss of clarity make it just aren't worth it to me.

You can get adapters to use other lenses, but again, the tradeoffs rather defeat the purpose in my view. And you don't really have to spend over a thousand for a Nikon unless you really want to. Check out third party lenses like from Sigma and Tokina, a few have been rated even better by Photography magazine.

And check eBay. A good used Nikkor lens is still a Nikkor lens!
