Nikon TC-17 E II is a good compromise tele convertor. I have the Nikon 1.4 and 2 third party 2.0x convertors they all seem to work with all functions up to F4. I have used this with The Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR, The Nikon 300 2.8 VR and the Nikon 600 F4. with the longer lenses the half stop of light gained over the 2x is usually worth the loss in reach. It will affect image quality but not to a horrendous degree. With any current Digital SLR from Nikon you are getting a 178- 510 4.8 35mm equivalent with the Nikon 70-200. If I only carry one teleconvertor it's the nikon tc 17. It is compact, lightweight and robust. It costs too much money, if there was a decent third party teleconvertor at this length I would buy it. My 2x convertors cost well under half the cost of this. |
