Fabulous image quality but less reach
I have used both the TC-17E II and this one, the TC-14E II. This one multiplies the reach of a zoom lens by only 1.4. There are two other Nikon teleconverters in this series, the TC-17E II (1.7 multiplier) and the TC-20E II (2.0 times multiplier). The "E II" series of teleconverters is only suitable for certain Nikon lenses--check the Nikon website for compatability. I purchased this teleconverter for use with the 70-200VR F/2.8 lens, with which it is quite compatible.All teleconverters introduce at least a theoretical degradation in image quality in exchange for the extra reach; the extent of this can range from the unnoticeable to the significant. The TC-14E II does not degrade the images from the 70-200VR to any perceptible extent. Even when shooting with wide aperture settings this teleconverter does not appear to introduce any noticeable decrease in lens image quality. Further, it only lowers the light sensitivity of a lens by one F Stop. This means that a 2.8...

If You Want More Zoom and Minimal Distortion
I bought this converter for the Nikon 70-200mm VR lens to cover extend my range when I upgraded from a D300 to a D3 and lost the 1.5x factor I had with the D300. It works great with my f/2.8 70-200mm VR lens and the results are sharp at f/4 (the minimum aperture for the aforementioned lens with the tele, but the pictures really shine when stopped down to f/5.6. It's worth the investment, easy to carry around. I thank Ken Rockwell for advising me on this product and guiding me to Amazon's exceptional service. This product really makes a difference, less cropping needed for those hard to reach shots.

A perfect tool for any photographer Pro or Amateur
I bought this converter for the Nikon 70-200mm VR lens to cover football. I shoot free-lance for multiple publications and I have successfully covered college football with this converter and the 70-200mm VR lens. I would suggest this to any friend, photographer, pro or amateur. The 1.4 is plenty for the extra zoom and when put on a 300mm f/2.8 It is a god-send.

An excellent accessory for the Nikkor 70-200 VR
This is a very good teleconverter, which of course gives a 1.7 times magnification to your lens. It is said to have been specifically been designed to go with the Nikkor 70-200 VR lens (and it also is compatible with certain other Nikkor lenses; see the Nikon website for a compatibility chart).Nikon makes three teleconverters in this series, the TC 14E II, the TC 20E II, and this TC 17EII. The former two teleconverters give a 1.4 times, and 2 times magnification, respectively.After considerable research, I went with the TC17E II on the theory (which is the common impression of many Nikon photographers) that this teleconverter is the best trade-off between image quality and extra reach. Of course, the more magnification that a teleconverter affords, the more degradation of image quality it will introduce.After several shoots using the 70-200VR, the TC17E II, and the Nikon D200, I have been able to form some pretty good impressions, most of them...

Works great, doesn't get in the way
I bought this TC to go with my 70-200/2.8. I needed something with some more reach in medium light situations on my DX body (D90). The 70-200 w/TC is still very sharp. Occasionally, if the focus is on the wrong end, it hunts a bit. Focus with the TC is a bit slower than without, but not by much. In those very few situations where this matters, I roughly pre-focus with the 70-200's excellent focus ring. Overall, I am very happy with the 70-200 & TC combo. As an added bonus, the TC17 also works great with my 105/2.8 AFS micro. This lens is slower focusing to begin with, and I don't notice any significant slowing down of focus or reduction in IQ with this combo for portraiture and other medium distance work. Some reduction in quality at far distances/infinity, but a great combo in macro work.

Great Option to extend range
Always wanted a bit more punch from my 70-200 2.8 VR. I could get an off brand 200-5-- zoom or add the teleconverter. I added the teleconverter and never looked back. Very little given up in sharpness. Small and easy to use. F stop loss is manageable. Great choice and enabled me to stay with Nikon Brand

Product Description

The Nikon TC-17E II was designed exclusively for use with AF-S and AF-I lenses, and completes the Nikon lineup of 1.4x, 1.7x, and 2.0x compact teleconverters. This teleconverter will maintain full metering and focusing with compatible cameras and lenses, and will also support the VR function found on many of the newer professional lenses.The AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II allows focal length to be extended by a factor of 1.7 times while retaining a sense of overall comfort in the hand. Many such teleconverters can also have a detrimental effect on the speed of the lens, however the AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II makes available f-stops only 1.5 stops slower.NOTE: Due to the high-quality design of this converter (7 elements/4 groups), the teleconverter will only fit and work with a select range of lenses.NOTE: Autofocusing only possible when used with D1, D1X, D1H, D2H, D100, F5, F100, N90s, N80, N75 and N65 AF SLR Cameras (or any newer models).

Works very well when used with the lenses it's made for.
I use the TC-20E II with a 400mm f2.8 ED IF AF-S, and it's superb. I was concerned whether there would be a reduction in sharpness, and perhaps there is a touch (but perhaps that's also a product of shooting at 800mm and ANY camera shake being noticeable), but this 2x converter is much sharper than the TC-14E 1.4x I also own. Yes, these newer converters must be used with the newer lenses, as others have mentioned.

Teleconvert worth the money
So I read the tree previous reviews and the two low scoring ones could have been prevented with some help. When doing background research, do not skip the brick and mortar stores or the manufacturer's web site. I researched this product extensively on DP Review and Nikonians, finshing up on the Nikon web site where they make the product manuals available for download. Usually in PDF format.The product works as advertised. If there is image degradation, it is minor and will not be noticeable in most peoples 4x6 prints, though it may be perceptible in enlargements.

Works Very Well With The Right Lenses
I bought this for my D300 and 70-200 2.8 VR. It works very well. The auto focus and the vibration reduction are not hindered at all by the TC. This increased my range from 300mm to 600mm @ 5.6, all with Nikkor quality, vibration reduction for $430, are you kidding me? If you can find a better Nikkor lenses at this focal range with VR for $430 please share it with us. Oh BTW, for the reviewers who bought this TC and found out that it does not work for your lens, please be patience and work on your reading skill.

Sigma 2X EX DG APO Teleconverter for Nikon AF Cameras
After reading the two reviews above, I was somewhat baffled. If you do any research on this product, you will find it clearly is made only for use with Sigma lenses, not Nikon lenses. The instruction manual that comes with the converter even lists which specific Sigma lenses to use. If you want a converter for Nikon lenses, buy the Nikon TC-20E (retails for more than twice the Sigma). Of course the quality of this product is poor when using a Nikon lens! I have a Sigma 70-200 zoom and it works beautifully; it is well worth the price.

Product Description

The dedicated APO teleconverter can be mounted between select lenses and the camera body to increase the focal length by the power of 2.0x. The new multi layer coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras. They demonstrate best performance with DG series lenses. They also offer maximum photography magnification by 2.0 x, without any variation in the minimum focusing distance. Compact and lightweight, these teleconverter convert your lenses into longer focal-length lenses, so you don't have to do a lot of unnecessary footwork. Top to learn more

Useful enhancement, within reason
First, to set things straight: this TC is intended for only Canon cameras, and for Sigma lenses that mount on a Canon camera. Anything else, you're taking your chances. Second, there are optical laws that invariably predict a 2-stop decrease in the amount of light hitting the sensor. And finally, glass, no matter which brand or how many exotic elements in it, has undesirable characteristics and you will always lose some amount of clarity, saturation and perceived quality (how much varies from lens to lens and eye to eye).Now that those fundamentals are out of the way, the results and recommendations. I took several photos using this TC mounted on my Sigma 70-200/2.8 and my Sigma 150-500/5.6~6.3. I also attempted to mount my Canon 28-70/2.8L on it, but the fit did not work (it scrapes and sticks and will not lock into place), and thus I believe they are incompatible. I did not test it with my Sigma 10-20/4.5~5.6 for obvious reasons.AF is maintained throughout...

Very pleased
I got this 2x converter to match the Sigma 70/200 2.8 lens. I have shot around 100 pics with this set up and have been very pleased with the results. I have shot wildlife to school track meets. The only reason I couldn't give this converter a perfect mark is I can't use it with my other Nikon lens.
