Nikon TC-17E II AF-S Tele Converter

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.

Key Features:
Enhanced Telephoto Versatility:
Affordable and portable gateway to extend telephoto reach; ideal for sports, wildlife, surveillance and more.
1.7x Optical Conversion Factor:
Increases the focal length by 70% of select compatible NIKKOR lenses.
Nikon Integrated Coating (IC):
Enhances light transmission efficiency, improves color consistency and reduces flare.

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.
• 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).
