Nikon TC-14E 1.4x AF-S, AF-I Teleconverter

Firstly, I have the newer version: the TC-14E II. This is a simply excellent teleconverter, as is reflected by its very high new cost price of up to £400. I bought it bundled with my mint condition 70-200mm f2.8 AF-S VR lens for £1080 UK pounds for...

AF speed and optical quality are absolutely fantastic: the same as without the converter: what more can you ask for ; Only 1 stop of light is lost so handholding is still possible with a 70-200 f2.8 or 80-200 f2.8 or smaller lenses ; The teleconverter...

Expense: very very expensive to buy new. Buy it secondhand ; Not compatible with AF-D lenses. This will not work with the excellent Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D lenses. Therefore I only have two lenses I can use this converter on, both of them very...

Nikon TC-14E 1.4x AF-S, AF-I Teleconverter

Been using the TC14E for over a year now and find it just fabulous. When using it with f2.8 AFS lenses I have noticed only a very small decrease in focus speed. On a f4 you can notice a little more slowing of the AF but on both occassions its tack...

Tack sharp images, used on 80-200 f2.8, 300 f4, 400 f2.8 Small in size, especially compared to the 2x.

The price. But I suppose quality is not cheap.

Nikon TC-14E 1.4x AF-S, AF-I Teleconverter

A nice converter to carry with as it is not too heavy and small in size. Actually, I planned to head for the 2x, but one aperture to loose with the 1.4x is enough.

rather short ; thus making the overall length of camera-converter-lens not significantly longer. -> no big danger of breaking

covers are difficult to stick on when changing in rush (e.g. shaking airplane, train)
