This is a great and light combo for sport or action photography. AF and sharpness are still pretty good, even better than the TC-17EIII !

I am not sure if it is the lens or the converter but I think you should get them checked Sar.

If you did a 200% crop on the first photo you would see that the third blade of grass to the right of the young fella's left foot exhibits definite traces of softness. :D :D

Just to confirm this is the first generation of the 70-200?

This is a combo I floated as a wildlife lens in another thread. These look very good, I think I may put the TC2 back on the list rather than the TC17.

I'm considering getting the same lens and then putting either the 1.7 or 2 TC on it, but I've read quite a lot of negative reviews on the TC20 combo and outstanding ones on the TC17

I suppose this could be because of the differences between the TC20EII and the T20EIII?

For the same price, I would choose the TC-20EIII over the TC-17EII. So far I can't see any difference between the two TCs on my 70-200 VRI.
