 NOT FOR ALL AF-S LENSES!! January 2, 2009
Dubarnik (Converse, TX USA)
I read the product review that said to be careful because the teleconverter doesn't fit all Nikon lenses and took it to mean that it only fit Nikon lenses with the AF-S mount. Made sense to me - there are other types of lens mounts and this teleconverter doesn't work with them. I didn't think I needed to check the the detailed specs on the Nikon website because I have a D40x that only uses AF-S mount lenses and the teleconverter is for AF-S lenses! Right? I mean, come on, look at the name of the darn thing!! BUT NO! The teleconverter works with some AF-S lenses, not all. Not the AF-S lenses I have.
The detailed specifications for this teleconverter need to be listed on the product page! The way it's sold now amounts to false advertising. I'm returning it.
One last note, the AF-S lenses that the teleconverter does work with are very expensive - the cheapest being about $1500.
 Works Very Well With The Right Lenses May 12, 2008

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.
Teleconvert worth the money March 10, 2008

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 when used with the lenses it's made for. September 8, 2007

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.
Beware, check the fit September 2, 2007

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.
