So very true. I have also seen some disgusting watermarks by fellow bird photographers and tried to argue against it but have given up. 2024 is about to run out - thank you for all your videos throughout the year - I have learned a lot from them. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Denmark.

Thank you! The best way is to use the Content Authenticity Initiative method. Although still not foolproof proof. I always thought watermarking was basically advertising oneself. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Great explanation - thank you! But how do you proof, that these are your photos in case they were used by other people?

So true👍

Very helpful video!I learned a lot! thank you sir!

today night i m going to use this and capture jupiter. yesterday night it was very sacky due to wind.

Thanks for the advice. Really useful.

I need indoor sagetion

It’s very good sagetion for me for jpeg

I really like your videos very informational thank you

Well presented. Topic was explained clearly. It will assist me so much with my interest in panoramics.

My camera 30 years back 90 mm, 28mm, and 2x glass shooting slide film great results

Thanks great info, loved the photo, just goes to show don’t need the latest and greatest camera tech

I always watch YT photography videos with a heavy pinch of salt...their situation is never the situation as I am in doing my photography! Our goals of photography are different! I have been using 1.4TC on my 150-600mm and it does not come off!😂

Prices are different on this planet.. For the price you mentioned you can get the lens plus a Camera in europe.. Almost nobody is buying these older cameras, it is a great time as a buyer..

I have a D40 (actually I have 2 😂) and I use it mostly for my Ebay items.. It makes such nice and warm pictures and it helps selling my stuff. I dont sell a lot, i am not a reseller..

This is the perfect lens for capturing those drop bears..

My solution to having a TC 1.4, was to set my D7500 fn2 button to image area size. With a press of the function button with my little pinkie, and one click of the command wheel the sensor image area crops to a 18 x 12 image size equal to a 1.3x extension. Yes it yields a smaller resolution, but after a day of photographing local sports and going through several hundred images, I can't pick any difference in quality and most chosen images get cropped to some degree anyway. I don't loose a stop of light and AF/iso are not impacted.

Thanks

What teleconverter works with Nikon Z6ii Do it fit Z As well 28-400 mm lens Thank you

subscribed as soon as i heard the accent and saw your T-Shirt !

Hello 👋 One doubt for camera setting

I use the Z8 with the 180-600mm for bird photography. Sometimes wthout the 1.4 TC and sometimes with the the TC. I shoot RAW and my experience is the same as yours. The 1.4 TC gets used on the other two lenses, the 100-400 and the 70-200 2.8 if needed.

very well explained Charles, thank you

is there any difference of 1,4 TC II and 1.4TC III and handling of camera with three coupling using F lenses via FTZ. I have a 500 PF but your video has made me re examine the situation. Thanks for the video.

Amazing photos with that tiny 300mm

Great video Charles I too have been influenced by watching too much content swaying your mind one way and back but your video had a very positive message cheers

Charles, I think you are spot on with suggesting your viewers take a closer look at a teleconverter. I struggled with the TC issue about 4 years ago but figured out that reach was an important factor. There had to be a work around for just about every negative issue of adding a teleconverter. And just like you said, the WOW factor of being teleconverter closer out weighted any of the issues. I went the rental route first and quickly figured out what was best for me, not the influencer. I have moved from a 1.4 teleconverter with my 100-400 to one with my 200-800. Practice, editing software and number of pictures on the walls suggest there can be more positives than negatives for getting a teleconverter at least for my birds in flight photography. Thanks

❤the video as always Nice Tip Did you use the teleconvter with z6ii?

Thanks for this. I was thinking about adding to the gear soon.

Hola muy buen video me e comprado la z6lll y tengo el tele 200-500 nikon en tiempos pensé en comprar un tele convertidor pero me paso lo mismo pensando que perdería calidad, y veo que da un gran resultado, doy el salto de la nikon d810 a la nikon z6lll, espero que puedas traducir el idioma Gracias!

Nice video. Went through the same angst before purchasing my extender. Then had problems as my camera focus didn't work at f8. Upgraded camera to mirrorless ( Canon system) and the extender hasn't left the camera since. Think your Red-capped Plover is a Black-fronted Dotterel .

Charles -- I also have the same setup and works great --- now looking into the Z50II with with new features like XSpeed 7 processor and super auto focus with bird detection and more - looks like a nice crop camera ---- anyway keep up the great work - really like your videos

Great video! Brightened my day, thank you!

I’ve been in the same boat over a TC. Been looking at a Sigma 1.4 TC for my Sigma 100-400 with my Canon 90D. I will just have to give it a go.

Great video Charles! You are right, it is so easy to get influenced by all the negative gear reviews and comments. I'm glad that you are happy with the TC!

Great video...thank you

Nice Timelapse.

Thanks for this video Charles, I brought a Sigma TC 1401 x1.4 for my Sigma 150-600mm lens but ended up with the said converter does not work :( camera bodies are Canon 50D/40D/30D and 20D, still that's life mate, great video and info.

looks nice and sturdy tripod

Nice job on the review.... You covered all the info we needed to know on the back pack

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge and experience

A nice tutorial for new comers like us. Is possible to add signature on the photo with NX Studio. Could you please guide me on this. Thanks in advance. 🙂

If you replace each “Fn” with “f’in” 🤬… this video is hilarious 😆 But seriously I’ve been struggling a little with lens function button assignments (what to use) so this is helpful 🙂👍🏻

very in depth, thank you!

It looks like you have just solved my problem with my D500 Charles, thank you....

Did enjoy that charles was nice to see thank you.

Got the 16mm f/1.8 a few months ago ... took awhile to figure out to update to firmware version 1.08 using my iPhone. Anyway, great lens for the price.

In just an hour and a half and you managed to get all these photos and video as well - very impressive. 👌

Thank you Sir! Detailed explanation.
