Hi,
I would like to buy the Nikon TC-17E II or the Nikon TC-14E II.
Any rumors or info about the next generation in 1.4X and 1.7X category?
Thanks :)

The x2 type II converter got very poor reviews
but this is not the case with x1.7 and the x1.4
both get quite good reviews
so we not see a new generation of these converters

there were some rumors around 1 year ago, but that's all. as sevencrossing wrote - 1.7II and 1.4II are really good TC's and there's really a small room for improvements in both of them

Here is the TC-14E II on the 400mm f/2.8 VRII Nikkor, D4, at 1/800s f/13, ISO 800
The 2000px size is here

If one considers the price of an 800mm f/4.0 lens, the TC-14E II is a heck of a deal.

So, allow me to restate this, in approximation.....an f/4 600mm is pricey and thus.....
Thanks, Adam

I'm considering the TC-20E III to use with my 70-200 f/2.8.
Does anyone here use that combination?
What is your experience with it?Posted 11 months ago # -

What is your experience with it?there is whole thread on it some were
It is "quite good" but you need to stop down to f 8
focusing is a tad slow
but its a lot lot cheaper than the 200-400 f 4

I would like to see the 1.7 TC brought up-to-date with nano coatings & etc.
I have a 70-200 f2.8 VRII with a 1.4 TC II that work well on my D7K, but I would like to stretch things a bit more and think the 1.7 probably would be more flexible than the 2, the 2 is a more recent refresh.
