It is the world's first teleconverter to incorporate an aspherical lens element, which virtually eliminates lens aberrations or ghosting, and is dust and water resistant - as a result producing images with outstanding resolution and contrast. the advanced design maintains the optical quality of NIKKOR lenses as well as fully supports exposure metering and VR image stabilization capabilities.The Nikon TC-20E AF-S Teleconverter III is both compact and lightweight, with a durable, weather-resistant barrel to support use in harsh conditions, making it a cost-effective and practical solution for those times when it is not possible or desirable to carry an extra telephoto lens with you.

Review: Great bit of kit - Great adaptor, have retired my 1.7x one as it was old. Optics are great as you'd expect from Nikon, I use F2.8 lenses, so F5.6 isn't bad. I keep it in my bag all the time, and use it regularly Paid £329, guess Brexit is to blame for the increase.
Review: Excellent low cost choice for supertelephoto. - Works surprising well. I have 4 compatible lenses which all autofocus with this converter even on older bodies. The lenses I use it with are 105 f2.8 macro which does autofocus even though Nikon compatibility chart say it does not (not tested for macro work). It also works well with my 70-200 f4, 300 f2.8 VRII and even under indoor lighting with my recently procured 300 f4 PF. I already owned the 1.4 TC II and 1.7 TCII converters and certainly with the f4 lenses autofocus does noticeably slow down with each subsequent size of converter. What surprised me was that even my old bodies D50, D300 and D700 still work with my f4 lenses plus this 2X converter even though their AF is only rated to f5.6 and the D500 was only slightly faster in its ability to focus. While there is some slight trade of in sharpness I find the combination of 300 f4 PF and this converter gives a light and very useable equivalent 600 f8 which can be handheld in good light using fast shutter speeds on my D500 with increased ISO. Works even better with the 300 f2.8 but becoming heavy and really needs support.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bit of kit
*by M***S on 16 January 2017*

Great adaptor, have retired my 1.7x one as it was old. Optics are great as you'd expect from Nikon, I use F2.8 lenses, so F5.6 isn't bad. I keep it in my bag all the time, and use it regularly Paid £329, guess Brexit is to blame for the increase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent low cost choice for supertelephoto.
*by A***A on 28 August 2016*

Works surprising well. I have 4 compatible lenses which all autofocus with this converter even on older bodies. The lenses I use it with are 105 f2.8 macro which does autofocus even though Nikon compatibility chart say it does not (not tested for macro work). It also works well with my 70-200 f4, 300 f2.8 VRII and even under indoor lighting with my recently procured 300 f4 PF.

Works even better with the 300 f2.8 but becoming heavy and really needs support.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much Improved Over The Last Version
*by M***Y on 7 March 2013*

I have had many teleconverters in the past 1.4, 1.7 and the previous 2 x versions of this teleconverter, using them with the 70-200 f2.8 Vr11 and the 300mm f2.8 Vr1 lenses for that extra bit of reach all bird and wildlife photographers crave. In the past the results when using the older 2 x converters have been very soft and disappointing compared to the 1.4 & 1.7 versions and even my 300mm f2.8 sometimes struggled for quick focus in low light conditions. This new version however is a real step up, it focuses quickly with none of the hunting and provides excellent sharp images and as a result is a massive improvement on whats gone before. Although quite expensive it converts your 70-200 to a 140-400 lens at a fraction of the cost of a 200-400 lens with the loss of a few stops, but believe me at f6.3 or f8 the combination is as sharp as knife. All in all this new version works very well, but check the Nikon lens compatibility before you purchase, as it won't always auto focus with many f4 + lenses.
