Awesome addition
I have used this for several months with a 300mm 2.8 lens and a 70-200mm 2.8 lens. I photograph lots of birds in flight and have found little or no loss in sharpness of the image. I have to believe people who find problems with teleconverters may have other issues.
September 23, 2011
There is one major flaw with this product.
The extender produces good results with my two large lenses ( 70-200 zoom and 300mm fixed) however it can not be used with the 60 mm macro nor the 18-105 zoom. MUCH more aggravating is that both large lenses slip on the extender, often causing "No lens attached" warning to appear. When you're out shooting moving subjects, this is a real pain. I have spoken with other Nikon users, one of whom is a professional photographer and they have noted the same problem. The pro does not use the extender in his work so it's not a major problem for him. However is you pay $2500 for a lens and then a $300 or $400 piece messes it up, I believe the costomer has a legitimate concern.

Works well
Got a 70-200 mm f.2.8 zoom objective and wanted to get just a bit closer. I saw another review where it was mentioned "it works well for what it is" and that reflects my experience as well.
Cannot see any difference in sharpness, but one thing I noticed when I wanted to see how my 70-200mm f.2.8 did without because I had seen a few comments then I immediately put the Teleconverter back in. The zoom with it has simply become a "cant live without".
So thumbs up for it.

Exceptional
I have used this for several months. It has performed beyond my expectations. I find little or no loss of clarity in my images. I use all three teleconverters on a 300mm 2.8 and a 70-200mm 2.8 and couldn't be happier with the versatility they provide.

For what it is ,it does a good job
If you use the he TC1.7II properly it is a very good teleconverter. I use it with my 70-200mm f2.8 on my D90 which makes it equivalent to 200mm to 530mm lens.
For some the downsides are the lens is slower and the image not as sharp as when the teleconvertor is not used.I don't have $5K
for a 500mm lens and in most cases the image is acceptable with the teleconvertor.
To get best performance I shot my 70-200mm at a minimum of f5.6 or f 6.3 . If you set the lens to 180mm instead of 20mm the image is a little sharper. The TC1.4II gives a sharper image but less magnification. Remember to shoot at a minimum of 1/250 to 1/500 and you will get some great shots.

Answer:
Since it has an F mount it can be attach to your camera. However, not all lenses can be used with a teleconverter. In general wide angle lenses or wide angle zoom lenses cannot be used. Also, lenses with relatively slow maximum apertures (slower than f2.8) cannot be used with teleconverters.Answer:
Quite simply no, you cant. Some have tried to use a third party TC like the one from Kenco, the problem is that if you try and attach a TC there is a very good chance you will damage something, either the lens or tc or both, not to mention that if you did get one to work it would slow it right down to something in the region of a 5.9 - 9.5 which would pretty much well render is useless unless you had blazing sunshine to keep the shutter speed up.Has staff answer

This lens is not compatible with any of our teleconverters.Answer:
I'm afraid not. Not usable, because it cannot be mounted, or vignetting or other image deterioration will ruin the photo.You can find more info at: http://www.nikonsupport.eu/europe/Manuals/DrdIaQvRZv/LCC2.1En.xls

Answer:
The AF Nikkor 80-200mm 1:2.8 D is a screw-drive lens. AF-S TC-E Teleconverters only work with AF-S , or AF-I lenses. Nikon never made a teleconverter compatible with screw-drive lenses.
