I've read mixed reviews for this teleconverter and there is now a newer model available. I can tell you I'm going to keep this TC-20E II. I'm happy with the results when I use this device with my D700 and my 70-200 F2.8 VRII lens. I only use this in good light but when I need the 400mm reach this baby comes in handy. I don't often need this reach so buying a Nikon 200-400 zoom for $6,000 isn't going to happen! For now I'm happy with the TC-20E II.

I was prepared to send this doubler back if it worked as poorly as the 2x Kenko Teleplus pro, which had significant chromatic aberration and softness issues with my 70-200 f/2.8. But I delighted with the quality of this glass. I can see almost no degradation of optical quality when used with the 70-200. With my D300 I can shoot hand held at ISO 800 in reasonable light with acceptable noise at f/5.6. Overall performance was way better than what I expected. A keeper.
It's worth noting that the reviewers who found this lens unacceptable did so because they had not verified that it would work with the lens they hoped to use it with. I understand the frustration there, but that is no reason to give the teleconverter a bad review. This is a terrific product when used with the correct lenses.

This review will be short and sweet. I used this for one of the first times today at an outdoor swim meet. I was using a Nikon D200 with the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I used the same camera/lens last summer, but without the teleconverter. Today, the teleconverter allowed me to get great close up shots of the swimmers. The quality of the pictures was every bit as nice as the pictures I took last summer without the teleconverter. If you've got the right lens and you want more zoom, I highly recommend the TC-20E II teleconverter.

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.

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.
