Nikon TC-14 Ai Teleconverter
Review of the Nikon TC-14 Ai Teleconverter.
This 1.4× teleconverter works with a varietry of Nikkor telephoto lenses, both Ai/Ai-S and AF/AF-I/AF-S. Its Ai mount makes it incompatible with Pre-Ai lenses (see F-mount history). It loses one stop of light when mounted to a lens. Its lens construction is 5 elements in 5 groups.
This teleconverter has a protruding front element and can be mounted to the TC-300 or almost any lens with an extension tube attached.
When it comes to use on DSLR cameras, this teleconverter is identical to the TC-14B.
Introduced in 1977 and discontinued in 1984, approximately 12,000 units were produced.
Price: $450 USD (1984).
