Nikon TC-17E II AF-S Teleconverter
Review of the Nikon TC-17E II AF-S Teleconverter.
This 1.7× teleconverter only loses 1.5 stops of light when mounted on a lens. Its lens construction is 7 elements in 4 groups. This teleconverter can be modified to mount to the rear of the TC-20E III teleconverter.
Because it features Ai coupling it is compatible with a long list of lenses.
This teleconverter's debut price was $400 USD (2004) which seems like a bargain today when teleconverters are at the $500 USD mark. As of the writing of this article, this teleconverter is still being produced.
