I have the feeling at full zoom it focuses better than without the converter. With the converter the aperture starts at F4 instead of F2.8.
I am happy with this converter. For about a relatively low (compared to buying a fast zoom lens) cost of 200 euro the 70-200 becomes a 98-280mm which means a 137-420mm on the Nikon D70 (you need to magnify by 1.5). There is certainly a loss of photo quality but it is not obvious.

My lens with the converter the aperture starts at 5.6 instead of f4,so yours even with the converter is much more brighter :)
