Nikon TC-17E II (1.7x) Teleconverter AF-S for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Nikon TC-17E II is the first teleconverter to offer 1.7x performance. Designed exclusively for use with AF-S and AF-I lenses, the AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II completes the Nikon lineup of 1.4x, 1.7x, and 2.0x compact teleconverters.With dimensions of just 66 x 31.5mm (2.6 x 1.2 in.) and a weight of only 250g (8.8oz.)(approx.), the AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II allows focal length to be extended by a factor of 1.7 times while retaining a sense of overall comfort in the hand. Many such teleconverters can also have a detrimental effect on the speed of the lens, however the AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II makes available f-stops only 1.5 stops slower.The AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II also has the ability to communicate with the signals from most lenses. Furthermore, it supports the convenient Nikon Vibration Reduction (VR) function, has a design that is consistent with the current TC-14EII and TC-20EII, and Eco-Glass is also used.Product Details

Works great, doesn't get in the way
I bought this TC to go with my 70-200/2.8. I needed something with some more reach in medium light situations on my DX body (D90). The 70-200 w/TC is still very sharp. Occasionally, if the focus is on the wrong end, it hunts a bit. Focus with the TC is a bit slower than without, but not by much. In those very few situations where this matters, I roughly pre-focus with the 70-200's excellent focus ring.
Overall, I am very happy with the 70-200 & TC combo. As an added bonus, the TC17 also works great with my 105/2.8 AFS micro. This lens is slower focusing to begin with, and I don't notice any significant slowing down of focus or reduction in IQ with this combo for portraiture and other medium distance work. Some reduction in quality at far distances/infinity, but a great combo in macro work.
Don't trust Nikon web site
I purchased this teleconverter only after researching on Nikon web site. There, they have a list on lenses that this does NOT fit. My lenses were NOT listed. Needless to say, it did not fit. As the Nikon rep. said, I have the "cheap" lenses. They are the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G ED DX and a AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3-5-5.6G DX VR. The lenses most amateurs and folks on a budget purchase. Why would I need this if I were a pro or could afford the $2500+++ lenses??? Anyway, I did give it 4 stars due to the quality and weight, and the recommendation from my good friend P.B.K. A world renowned photographer. I'm sure this is a nice item and will please the best photographers. Don't hesitate to buy, but do your homework or go to a retailer to try it on for yourself...
Nikon Teleconverter
Works very will with the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens. Used it for photographing eagles in Alaska, polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, and penguins in Antarctica with great success. Maintains the outstanding image quality of the lens.
