I have not tried it that way. That is about the only option that I have excluded. I will try on a tripod with a controlled object at max 200MM @ about 50 meters with ALL variations that I am capable of working. (there is a lot of things that I am unsure of doing). I switched from SLR's with all my lens that I understood for the last twenty years, so this is a confusing ballgame at this time. We hike and Jeep the mountains of the SW over the winter and work the canyons and washes looking for unusaul compositions. We have moved our trailer to Elephant Butte, NM. along the Rio Grande for next season. We will be there from around Oct. 20 to April 15. We have lots of small mountain and riparion areas to explore for more compostions. I am going to purchase a good Macro lens as I like that kind of work, but I must understand more about DSLR's before I go there. All the help I can get is appreciated. I do have a samll web site, a freebie!! Just go to Google and type in<br>

I did have a Nikon 8800 before the D90 and really enjoyed it. I DID take a lot of daytime sports shots and they were OK and no blur problems, in fact they were nice quality(keeping it at about 340MM or less) . I took nearly 20K photo's and it was still great. I gave it to my son and he is a coach and really likes the sports shots it can do. Makes one wonder if I made a mistake???<br>

OH well time to go to work. I work for the Walt Disney Hometown Museum as a tour guide and do most of the Photography.</p><div></div>

<p>Ok, I will do that tomorrow or Thurs. as I have to work tomorrow, but maybe can find time.<br>

<p>I have tried all of the suggestions given without ANY success. Most all photos were@ 135 to 200 mm. It seems that when I take a close up at 70mm the focus works great and the photograph is excellent?? I am using the 3D focus as recommended. I have used panning,active mode,I have tried them ALL. Could there be a problem with the lens as the other one I mentioned works just fine?? It is still under warranty, just a thought.<br>

<p><strong>I just started using this glass and I am having a lot of problems with focus. The ambient light has caused no problems at all but the focus is terrible. It just does not even want to AF on none moving object??? I have tried many conbinations of settings. what am I doing wrong. My 18-105 3.5 glass which is my prime glass works wonderful except in low light which is expected. It has fast focus and fine quality. When I take single or multiple shots with my 70-200, there may ONE good one in 25 shots and that one is not the high quality that I expect. I worked last night in the full sun shine and after the lights came on with the same results. VERY LITTLE SUCCESS</strong><br>

<strong>HELP HELP</strong><br>

<strong>Bill</strong></p>

<p>The photo was taken without TC. I did a little research before and I understood it would work OK with my 70-200 NIkon, but would be manual focus which was OK. I guess I was mis-informed.<br>

Thank you all<br>

<p>I have a D90 Nikon which I really am satisfied with. I have a 2.8 AFS VR 70-200 lens which is just great. I thought it would be nice to have more zoom, so I bought a TC201 Nikon to match. I have had NO sucess in getting a good photograph!! I have tried many things suggested in the instructions for use and have downloaded other recommedations for use. I do like the manual focus OK, BUT???? I have used monopod/tripod, 10sec timers, manual ETC. Still baffeled. I may be old and thick of mind but do need some help. All photo's are very poor.<br>

I have just purchased a Vivitar 2X MACRO FOCUSING Teleconverter for my camera

and I need an instruction manual for it, or at least the correct way to use it .

Any help out there??

Bill

I have a lot of problem again with my action shots. Rodeo, horse racing,

sports. I have tried many of the items shown in instruction manual but still

the quality is very low. I use the best quality high resolution set up on my

camera.

I have a WZ 8800 Nikon.

I have a great deal of problem with low light shots. They look OK in the viewer

but the final product is very dark. If I lighten it up in Photoshop it looks

washed out
