I have just had a chance to use the TC-301 with my F-5 and AF 300/4 lens and have a question about exposure compensation. The literature that came with the TC-301 said that with the F-5 and DP-30/EC-B finder/screen (the standard configuration) to use +1 exposure compensation via Custom setting 18 rather than use the camera's normal compensation setting. What difference if any does it make? Since I will only be using the TC-301 occasionally it would be a lot easier to just dial in +1 compensation when needed. Actually after looking at the first roll of ISO 400 prints I see nothing wrong with the exposure with no compensation. In my rush to try the lens I didn't bother to read the instructions very well. I'm tempted to just use it with no compensation to gain the extra shutter speed I want with the effective 600mm lens. Art
