The new Nikon TC-17E III teleconverter

By [NR] admin | Published: January 18, 2010

Update: Nikon USA corrected their website, the smoke remains.

Just a clarification on the Nikon TC-17E III teleconverter: this rumor is not based on the Nikon website listing that could be a typo (two typos in two sentences?):

I received the information about the new Nikon TC-17E III teleconverter few days ago and after I posted it online today, a reader pointed me to Nikon's website. Coincidence? I like coincidences:)

    I guess the used market on older TC’s is about to hit bottom

    there has never been a TC-17E II – so that has to be a typo!
    probably the new one is the II not III

      So the lens on the Nikon USA site (says TC-17E II on the barrel) is already the new lens?

        Even the Nikon global site says TC-17E II, released in 2004. I guess they skipped the first version and made it ‘II’ immediately

          That is correct. The II always referred to the finish of the lens barrel. The 1.7 TC started life as the TC-17EII

    I’ll be interested to see the reviews of the new teleconverters (the TC-20EIII or if these other ones are true). I might be in the market for a teleconverter for the new 70-200 VRII.

    I think February and early March we will see MANY new Nikon products – Coolpics, TC, and fast primes.
