I use the converter on a Nikon 300mm vr and it works great images are as sharp as the lens alone. I think the price is a little high but it's a good lens

Comments about Nikon TC-14E 1.4x II Teleconverter for D-AF-S & AF-I Lenses:

I bought this for my Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR. Focus is quick and pics are sharp even wide open. I would recommend this over the TC-1.7 which I also own. I only wish that Nikon had included a pouch for it like the one that came with my 1.7

Comments about Nikon TC-14E 1.4x II Teleconverter for D-AF-S & AF-I Lenses:

Works very well with D90 + 70-200/2.8 VR. Bright, quick focus, nice bokeh, and still sharper than my other zooms without a converter. Not quite as impressive on my F100 full-frame, but still pretty good. Well made, expensive little gadget, no doubt delivering high profits to Nikon, but DX results seem to justify the price relative to other ~300/f4 options if you already have the 70-200 VR.

Comments about Nikon TC-14E 1.4x II Teleconverter for D-AF-S & AF-I Lenses:

Used the teleconverter at my sons soccer game yesterday and today. Here is the ONE picture that made it all worth the expense. It was used with the 70-200 f2.8 and I am still amazed at the result.

Comments about Nikon TC-14E 1.4x II Teleconverter for D-AF-S & AF-I Lenses:

Seems a little overpriced for what it is, but it does work as advertised. Unlike some third party TC, its integration is seamless. I suppose if the less expensive alternatives were designed to communicate with my lenses and cameras better I would have purchase one of those. That being said I can't imagine that with the amount of glass and hardware used in this product, that any third party company would have that much difficulty reproducing a comparable alternative. There's not much to it, pretty simple design. Basically you're paying for the proprietary communication and the Nikon name. Unfortunately I can't afford to take chances with my gear and have little margin for error. I'm sure if I didn't make my living with my equipment, I would have had no problem buy one of the other third party alternatives. Which I'm sure would have been fine.

Comments about Nikon TC-14E 1.4x II Teleconverter for D-AF-S & AF-I Lenses:

This is a professional grade upgrade. As an amateur photographer I would have been better off buying a zoom lens only because a zoom is versatile and I could have taken pictures of more things with less money, but it sure is cool taking professional pictures. My photos are as good as any I have ever seen “I am 56”.
We use my photos as a desktop that changes every 15 minutes.
It takes a while to get the settings right for the teleconveter, “it is very different”, but after you get it down you can take perfect pictures of birds in flight at a great distance. The birds can be flying a very high rate of speed and still get a great shot.
This teleconveter focuses faster than my eyes can focus.
