Is a Nikon 2x teleconverter a good idea for better zoom?
I am using a nikon 18-200mm 3.5-5.6. What is the most I could max this lens out? Is my only option to use a 2x teleconverter? Is it possible to add 2 teleconverters and get 600mm out of this?
I want to be able to zoom as far away as possible, but is it not worth the loss in quality?
Or would it just be cheaper if i buy a 400mm or 600mm lens?
You would be better off using just one 2X teleconverter. The teleconverter not only doubles the focal length it doubles the effective f-stop. So f3.5 becomes f7 and f5.6 becomes f11.2. Add another 2X teleconverter and you're looking at f14 and f22.4 - and that's with the lens "wide open".
Another consideration is atmospheric conditions. The longer the focal length, the more the "compression" effect. Any haze or water vapor (think humidity) in the air will be effectively magnified by a 400mm lens and can definitely cause a degraded image. A Haze/UV filter can help but there's only so much it can do.
If you buy the Nikon 2X teleconverter you shouldn't lose much quality if any. I routinely use a Minolta 2X teleconverter on my Minolta 70-210mm f4 (constant aperture) zoom. You can see the results at http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/sets if you want.
