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

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.

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

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

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

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

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