Nikon TC-14A Ai-S Teleconverter
Review of the Nikon TC-14A Ai-S Teleconverter.
This 1.4× teleconverter works with almost all Nikkor F-mount lenses, both Ai/Ai-S and AF/AF-I/AF-S. This is because it does not have a protruding front element like the TC-300 and TC-14 do. It loses one stop of light when mounted to a lens. Its Ai-S mount makes it incompatible with Pre-Ai lenses (see F-mount history). Its lens construction is 5 elements in 5 groups. Like with the TC-200 and TC-201, some lens combinations will cause vignetting.
Introduced in 1984 and discontinued in 2005, approximately 27,000 units were produced.
Price: $215 USD (1985), $323 (1988).
