Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II Lenses
The AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II is the first teleconverter to offer a 1.7x lens focal length magnification, but with exposure compensation kept to just 1.5 stops. Designed exclusively for use with AF-S and AF-I Nikkor lenses**, it is compact and lightweight to use. It is able to communicate with the signals from most* lenses. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with Nikon's exclusive Vibration Reduction (VR), incorporates glass elements that conform to forthcoming environmental standards and is housed in a design that is consistent with the current TC-14E II and TC-20E II.
