See the page for the details. The left image below shows the lens and the right one has a TCON-14B mounted on a FZ-10 with the help of the PD62 adapter. With this TCON-14B, you can zoom the camera lens to about 3X without getting vignetting.

I've filed my TC-14E's tab so that it fits my 500mm f/4 AI-P, but there's clearly enough space at the back for the lens elements not to foul. Ironically, the 14-24 is compatible with the tab (IIRC), but obviously won't fit the teleconverter without blocking. Teleconverters tend to be designed to match a particular focal length range (or at least assuming the lens's exit node is at a particular distance); they often won't play well with a very different (especially much shorter) lenses. The ability to extend the elements of the teleconverter beyond the mount point also seems to help (both Canon and Nikon do this), so a third party teleconverter that's 'compatible with everything' is likely to suffer optically in comparison with the latest and greatest on-brand version. At least if your lenses are already manual focus you're not losing out by sticking to Nikon - you might even gain something, since I've had an adapted TC-16A autofocussing on a 135mm f/2.8 AI-P (and the 500 f/4, obviously).

On the 300/2.8 lens somewhat better results are achieved, but corners are quite soft. Expect some corner light fall-off and watch out for soft corners when using the TC-200/201 converter. Thus, most combinations need stopping down a couple of stops to achieve acceptable results. Likely this converter will perform best if used in conjunction with the D1.

Teleconverters TC-14A and TC-14B. Nikon introduced two 1.4X Teleconverters in 1983 in an effort to serve more. This is for a Nikon 1.4x TC-14B Tele Converter lens. Amazon.com: Nikon TC-14B (1.4x) Teleconverter AI-S for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras: Camera Lenses: Camera & Photo. Teleconverters TC-14. Which resulted in the introduction of an Ai-S spec Nikon TC-14A and TC-14B Teleconverters. 1.4X of the lens in use.

Nikonians cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by mounting any converter on any lens. Converters transmit various signals between the lens and camera using electrical contacts. 10 contacts are currently required for full operation, including autofocus and VR/OS/VC functions where the lens has them, with Nikon AF cameras. Autofocus is transmitted using the electrical contacts for AF-S, AF-I, HSM and USD lenses, or through a mechanical clutch known colloquially as “screwdriver” for other AF lenses. Nikon’s TC-xxE, TC-xxE II and TC-xxE III converters, as well as newer Sigma EX DG TC’s, do not have the “screwdriver” clutch.

Nikon’s TC-xxE, -II and -III converters have a tab on the front mounting ring that prevents them being mounted on anything but the longer “pro” Nikkor AF-S and AF-I lenses. It is possible to remove the tab with a grinding tool, but Nikonians cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by doing so. Tamron SP Pro converters are functionally the same as the equivalent Kenko Pro 300 converters; any differences are cosmetic only.

However, their usage comes at a price in performance terms. Typically, AF speed may be reduced, and any tendency of the lens to “hunt” may increase. Image quality (resolution and contrast) is likely to be degraded somewhat. Lastly, an inevitable result of using any converter is a lessening of light transmission, and hence a darker viewfinder: • a 1.4x converter will lose 1 stop of light; an f/2.8 lens becomes an f/4 combination • a 1.7x converter will lose 1.5 stops of light; an f/2.8 lens becomes an f/4.7 combination • a 2x converter will lose 2 stops of light; an f/2.8 lens becomes an f/5.6 combination • a 3x converter will lose 3 stops of light; an f/2.8 lens becomes an f/8 combination. Discuss teleconverters You are most welcome to ask any question you may have in our. More on converters Converters are designed to be used on longer focal length lenses.

Nikon’s TC-xxE, TC-xxE II and TC-xxE III converters, as well as newer Sigma EX DG TC’s, do not have the “screwdriver” clutch. Some older 3rd Party converters such as the Kenko Teleplus MC4 and MC7 lack the contacts for AF-S/AF-I/HSM/USD lenses.

The following images were taken at 420mm and F3.7 ( i.e., the largest aperture). To illustrate the light fall-off effect, images were underexposed. From these images, one can conclude that all six teleconverters exhibit some degree of light fall-off; however, in general shooting this light fall-off may not be noticeable. Note that due the deeply recessed rear element of the Nikon TC-E15ED 1.5X, its light fall-off may be more obvious than the other teleconverters. Canon TL-55 Olympus TCON-14B Konica Minolta ACT-100 Nikon TC-E15ED Nikon TC-E17ED Olympus TCON-17 Sony VCL DH1758 Sony VCL HGD1758 Since all teleconverters only exhibit some degree of light fall-off, vignetting ( i.e., four black corners) is not a problem at maximum focal length. However, as the camera lens is zoomed back, different teleconverters will eventually have vignetting.

These AF-S teleconverters utilize the Nikon f/mount, and are compatible with all Nikon and (FX and DX formats), as well as the cameras when using the FT-1 F Mount Adapter. Should I use a teleconverter? There are benefits and drawbacks to using a teleconverter, so you need to decide if using one is right for the type of photography you’re planning to do. Benefits include their cost effectiveness and small physical size; drawbacks include a loss of light or lens speed and possible decrease in sharpness.

Pity about those corners, though. TC-17E 4 A newcomer to the already long range of Nikon converters, this will give 70% longer reach in conjunction with a 1.5 stop loss of light. Thus, a 300 mm becomes a 500 mm lens. Stopping down the master lens at least 1 stop should always be done to keep quality at a sufficient level. With some lenses, internal lens flare can be seen when the aperture is fully opened. By closing 1-2 stops the flare disappears.

TC-300/301 (2 X) 2-4.5 This very elongated and bulky converter is intended for use on long telephoto Nikkors, 300 mm and above. In fact, its protruding lens neck prohibits it being mounted on most Nikkors.

I used 180/2.8 latest version lens with 2X Kenko (some non-Pro cheap older version with mechanical auto focus shaft only), and with fast shutter technique and one stop down aperture, the pictures are good and no noticeable optical degradation. This 2X does not work auto focus with AF-S lenses, but it mounts OK and you could use manual focusign if you have to. The price for the 2X was below $100. I also used Kenko PRO 1.4X, and again, it works well. This one has mechanical auto focus shaft and electric contacts to feed AF-S motor if lens is AF-S lens.

I haven't used any tele converters but I was thinking of getting one. I want it as an option on short tele primes, mostly manual focus lenses, 85 to 180 mm. If I understand correctly the Nikon TC14E will only mount on some lenses so it's not an option? The other option I found was the Kenko 300 Pro that seems to be more universally usable but cheaper so likely of lesser quality. I also remember reading somewhere that a tele converter might also be a viable option with macro lenses to get higher reproduction ratio. I do understand that magnifying the image 1.4 times has implications on image quality.

By closing 1-2 stops the flare disappears. I noticed this when the TC-17E was combined with the AFS 300/2.8 VR lens. You can modify the TC-17E the same way as the TC14E and TC20E, to make it compatible with non-AFS/AFI lenses as well. Note that AF operation is only possible with AFI/AFS lenses, though. TC-200/201 (2 X) 1-3 This converter fulfills equal needs as the TC-14A, but with a doubling of the focal length, As with the TC-14A, it fails to give outstanding results in most situations, but the image quality is rarely unacceptable. However, this is not the case with 200/2 Nikkor, on which it is the only possible 2X converter: Here image quality is downright terrible.

For Kenko, check how the lens elements are placed at the lens mount side to avoid any possibility of damage. From a Kenko teleplus 300 1.4 converter image, my guess is that it fits to the 180 lens. It seems that the lens mount side is similar to TC-201. There is room for the lenses back part.

Strangely, the TC-14C doesn't give top performance on the 300/2 Nikkor itself, showing noticeably colour fringing in the corners. Most TC-14Cs are now split up from their huge partner, the 300/2, and are sold separately. As only some 300 units were manufactured, the TC-14C can be quite difficult to locate today and likely commands a steep price. TC-14E 5 (Mk.II) A neat converter designed for the long AFI/AFS lenses, the TC14E delivers impeccably performance and is a valuable and for many photogs, an indispensable item for their camera bags. It has additional contact pins for conveying the master lens data to the camera. AFS operation with the TC14E added is fast and positive.

On the 400/3.5 results are less satisfying. It can also be attached to the 500/8 Reflex Nikkors if their rear filter is removed, and this combination works quite well, too. TC-14C (1.4 X) 4-5 A very rare converter originally delivered with the famous and elusive Nikkor 300/2, this unit gives virtually perfect results with some fast long Nikkors such as 200/2, 400/3.5 and 500/4.

However, central image sharpness can be really excellent when it is mated to some of the longer Nikkors, 200 mm and above. Pity about those corners, though. TC-17E 4 A newcomer to the already long range of Nikon converters, this will give 70% longer reach in conjunction with a 1.5 stop loss of light. Thus, a 300 mm becomes a 500 mm lens.

There is no difference betwen the the original versions and the newer ones in terms of functionality or optical performance. • The 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF supports the TC-201 and the TC-14A (occasional vignetting) & TC-14B (AF not possible). • The 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR supports the TC-14EII, TC-17E II, TC-20EII. • The AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED will only autofocus with the TC-14E II. • The following lenses, although not a complete list, are not compatible with autofocus teleconverters: AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, any 18-55mm lens, any 18-105mm lens, any 18-135mm lens, any 18-200mm lens, any 24-120mm lens, any 55-200mm lens, any 70-300mm lens, and any 80-400mm lens.

If a VR/OS/VC lens will autofocus with a particular converter and camera combination, then in general VR/OS/VC will also work. If a lens will meter with a particular camera, then in general metering will also work with a converter attached. Nikon’s TC-xxE, -II and -III converters have a tab on the front mounting ring that prevents them being mounted on anything but the longer “pro” Nikkor AF-S and AF-I lenses. It is possible to remove the tab with a grinding tool, but Nikonians cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by doing so. Tamron SP Pro converters are functionally the same as the equivalent Kenko Pro 300 converters; any differences are cosmetic only. The Nikon TC-xxE and TC-xxE II converters have only cosmetic differences, but TC-xxE III converters have a new optical formula.

The TC-14A, TC-200 and TC-201 are intended for lenses of 200mm and less; the TC-14B, TC-300 and TC-301 are intended for lenses of 300mm and more. Not all lenses will physically fit all converters. If the converter has a protruding front element, and/or the lens has a non-recessed rear element, attempting to mount the converter could damage both it and the lens.

It has additional contact pins for conveying the master lens data to the camera. AFS operation with the TC14E added is fast and positive. I could not detect any slowing down of focusing speed and focusing accuracy in fact improved by the greater image magnification achieved on my AFS 300/2.8 lens.Field flatness was virtually perfect and for all practical purposes, no increase of chromatic errors could be seen. A protruding tab insid the bayonet mount prevents the TC14E from being attached to non-AFI/AFS lenses. This tab is easily removed to make the TC14E universally applicable. Be aware that you will lose AF unless the prime lens is either AF-I or AF-S. TC-16/16A (1.6 X) 1-3 This converter gives a 'pseudo' AF function to manual Nikkors when used on an AF camera.

With this TL-55, you can zoom the camera lens to about 3X without getting vignetting. This is an advantage if you do not wish to remove the converter lens frequently. At 3X, the actual focal length is 147mm = 35mm×3×1.4. Hence, there is no focal length gap with this Canon TL-55.

Converter Rating Comments TC-14A (1.4 X) 1-3 Many shorter Nikkors (below 200 mm) need this converter because it lacks the protruding elements in front which are found on the TC14/14B/14C units. Expect moderate to severe vignetting on many master lenses and a concomitant loss of corner sharpness. It should not be mounted on long telephotos 300 mm and up unless as a desperate last resort.

So, the values in the above table can only be used as references and you can certainly come up with a different set of values. Technical Data The following technical information is taken from Canon, Minolta.

The Nikon MF converters have limitations as to which focal lengths they can be used on. The TC-14A, TC-200 and TC-201 are intended for lenses of 200mm and less; the TC-14B, TC-300 and TC-301 are intended for lenses of 300mm and more. Not all lenses will physically fit all converters. If the converter has a protruding front element, and/or the lens has a non-recessed rear element, attempting to mount the converter could damage both it and the lens. The Nikon TC-300 and TC-301 are good examples. Nikonians cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by mounting any converter on any lens.

Sigma 150-600 With Can 1.4x Converter

It works auto focusing with perhaps all Nikkor autofocus lenses. (AF_S and AF). There's a manual focus TC-14A converter in existence that doesn't have the protruding front element.

When photographing toward a light source, the scratches may leave marks on the pictures. The sharpness and character of the lens has not necessarily suffered any deficiencies. Mechanically: The focus may feel uneven and backlash is evident. Photographing is possible in the entire focusing range but the pleasure received from good manual focusing is not at its highest. Oil may be visible on the aperture blades and we recommend only to use the lens when adapted. The mechanical condition of a camera or accessory is still usable, but the slow shutter speeds might get stuck.

Nikon doesn't have one. The Nikon TC I only use it some times with my AFS-300 f/4. For me the image quality is good enough but the AF becomes very slow. I think the Kenko TCs are really good and I can't find much difference between a Nikon and a Kenko. I'll second much of what's been said.

Minimum Working Distance The working distance is the distance between the subject and the front element of the lens being used. The minimum working distance is important because it tells us that the subject should at least be placed at a distance longer than the minimum working distance. Since no published minimum working distance data were available (because it depends on both the camera and the teleconverter being used), actual measurements must be carried out. To do so, the camera with a teleconverter is placed far away to focus on a subject.

Sony VCL-HGD1758 This Sony VCL-HGD1758 is a 1.7X converter lens and is the heaviest and largest of all converters discussed on this page. It extends FZ-10's focal length to 714mm = 1.7×420. The Sony 1.7X has a 58mm rear thread and has no front thread. Therefore, you will need a 62-58mm step-down ring if your have a 62mm adapter ring, or other step rings to use the Sony 1.7X on your adapter ring. See the page for the details. The left image below shows the lens and the right one has a Sony VCL HGD1758 on a PD62 adapter with the help of a 62-58mm step-down ring.

The Minolta ACT-100 has a rear thread size of 49mm and a 86mm front thread. Therefore, you will need a 55-49mm step-down ring. The left image below shows the lens and the right one has a Minolta ACT-100 mounted on a FZ-30 with the help of a 55-49mm step-down ring. Nikon TC-E15ED 1.5X The Nikon TC-E15ED 1.5X is a reasonably light weight and compact telephoto converter lens with a lens power of 1.5X, which brings the FZ-30 maximum focal length to 630mm = 420×1.5.
