Nikon TC-20E II (2.0x) Teleconverter AF-S for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Works Very Well With The Right Lenses
Comment: 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.

Summary: Teleconvert worth the money
Comment: 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.

Summary: Works very well when used with the lenses it's made for.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Beware, check the fit
Comment: Be warned, this teleconverter does not fit all Nikon lenses. Read the specifications on Nikon's site before purchasing this teleconverter. I was disappointed to find out only a few lenses will fit this teleconverter. Nikon has added a small piece of metal to block use of other lenses.

I wish Nikon would allow other lenses to fit this teleconverter. They claim that the elements will touch. If that is so, then all they need to do is make this teleconverter slightly larger to fit without elements touching.

It would have made a great edition to any lens collection.

Summary: Sorry, but there was no ZERO stars
Comment: It did not fit the lens that it was described for, and there was no mention that it was a gray market lens (with NO WARRANTY). DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON OR ACE DIGITAL. Apparently, Amazon is not particular with whom it does business with. They got me my money back less the 12 bucks it cost to ship it back. I trusted Amazon with a purchase I NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE with Ace Digital. You can't trust Amazon's Affiliates. Spread the word. I AM!!!!!!!
