Folks, I use this TC-20 with my Nikkor AF-S 200mm F2 VR "CHUBBY STUBBY" AND THAT TC-20 CONVERTS IT TO ONE FAST 400mm lens when used with my D700 body for reaching out and touching somebody. I have used it for football, basketball and water polo with outstanding stop action results. Would not use this with anything higher than a f2.8 pro lens. It truly is well built and does an excellent job for me, I am very pleased with the results. Remember, to use a mono pod because this combo hand held takes a gorilla to hold up all day. Plus, I also have my AF-S 70-200mm f2.8 VR zoomer mounted on my D800 hanging on a sling around my neck for when the play action comes in close. These two heavies together are a real workout for an ole 70 year young Photog but I am still vertical and loving it! V/R KMWRead full review
I do photo as long as I remember myself. I started at age 6, using my father's Leica Film camera. I can say about this teleconverter - IT IS SUPERB. Especially for my Nikon Nikkor 400mm F/2.8 VRII Lens. Nice combo. Why to buy 500mm f/4.0 or 600mm f/4.0 If I have identical quality with 400mm f/2.8? 800mm F/5.6 by tiny margin better than 400mm with x2 teleconverter. You will notice it only, if U will do "pixel peeping" and count every pixel. For any commercial work or for hobby, it is not noticable. Sometimes I can't tell which photo was made by my 400mm with x2 ex-teleconverter, and which with 800mm lens. Only EXIF data helps :-)

I've seen people claim that using this 2x extender yields results as good as photographing with a 600mm native lens. That's a bit of an exaggeration. However, the results of a current production Nikon 300mm f2.8 in combination with a TC-20EIII are certainly good, especially if you can work at f4 or f5.6.

I’m using this TC-20E III between a Nikon D3X and a Nikkor 200 - 500mm F5.6. The WEIGHT factors of these combined elements needs SERIOUS consideration. Avoid suspending the camera or lens from a single mounting on a tripod. Or you may inadvertently engage in destructive testing of your $500. TC-20E III TeleConverter. The above mentioned rig weighs eight and one half pounds, (8.5 lbs). Better check if your tripod can handle the weight BEFORE assembly.

I use this on a 70-200mm VR and 400mm AI-S f/2.8 lenses. The teleconverter gives me a very lightweight portable 400mm lens. The autofocus is hampered due to its f/5.6 effective maximum aperture. For static shots, or if a professional body is used, the autofocus works very well even in minimal lighting conditions. The autofocus problems do not effect my manual focus lenses and the increased resolution and reach are nothing short of incredible. Nikon hit a home run with this 3rd generation teleconverter.
