Nikon TC-20E III AF-S Tele Converter for Camera

Product Information

AF NIKKOR lenses (those which do not have a built-in focus motor) are not compatible with the current AF-S teleconverters but may work with older manual models. (AF-S lenses are those with a built-in focus motor.) Some of the newer NIKKOR lenses can also be used with older manual focus teleconverters with limited compatibility. Functional limitations include having to manually focus the lens, shoot in manual exposure mode only, and require an accessory exposure meter due to the camera’s built-in exposure meter being rendered inactive. Vignetting or other visible image defects may also occur. The 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF supports the TC-201 and the TC-14A (occasional vignetting) & TC-14B (AF not possible).

NIKON D3S + 300mm f/2.8 @ 600mm, ISO 560, 1/500, f/5.6 The TC-20E has so much magnification that, at least on a D3, there is usually some loss of sharpness wide-open. Teleconverters come in three strength settings. 1.4x is the most common: it gives a useful increase in magnification without a big penalty in usability or image quality. They increase the focal length of the lens it is used with, so a 300mm becomes a 420mm – and a 70-200mm becomes a 98-280mm zoom I recently rented a Nikon Z7ii (with battery grip), Nikon Z 400 f4.5 S lens, Nikon Z 2x teleconverter. This is my experience. Its front elements poke out, so they are shrouded in rubber. After about ten years, this rubber develops a little bit of a gray haze on it, which wipes right off.Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.

Nikon stopped offering 5-year lens warranties in 2021 in an effort to save themselves money at our expense. You may often see softer images with this converter if you look too closely, but these are usually because of higher ISOs or blur from longer shutter speeds from the loss of light or enlargement of atmospheric disturbances like haze and heat shimmer, not from any optical fault of the converter itself. Teleconverters are convenient when you want to increase the apparent telephoto reach of specific NIKKOR lenses, especially when compared to the physical size of some of the longer super-telephoto NIKKORs. Also, when you use a teleconverter, you don’t lose the close focusing distance of the lens, which is an added benefit.Likewise, the minimum aperture is two stops smaller. If the lens stops down to f/22, it will stop down to f/45 with this converter.
