Pros: Good workmanship, acceptable sharpness.

Cons: Weight, AF slowdown on 500mm F4E acceptable, Price from new not justifying.

Opinion: the TC17released in 2004 offers a 70% increase in focal length with 1.5 stops less which is completely contrasting with the TC14 which offers a 40% increase in focal length at only one stop less. As we know in birdlife the mm are never enough I mainly use the TC 14 of the third generation that has no equal to the 17 of the second generation, having said this on clear days without humidity and with good light does its duty, giving on my 500mm a focal length of 850mm of all respect. In conclusion, after using it for months it has sharpness in the center and mid-frame, with loss of image quality only at the widest apertures.

Pros: Tolerable quality loss when used on 2.8

Cons: Frankly nothing

Opinion: A high quality TC. It allows to transform a 300 2.8 in an abundant 500mm, with a minimum quality loss. From the tests carried out, the loss of quality is higher than the equivalent 1.4 x, but far from that of the 2x. Testing the "good", comparing a 300 2.8 with this TC 1.7 x to a Sigma 150-600 Sport, I found a victory overwhelming by the fixed multiplied. So in my opinion is an excellent tool for owners of 300 2.8 who want to "lengthen" the lens, still maintaining a very important image quality, without switching to a zoom. By sheer curiosity I tried it with a d500 and a Nikon 200-500, and it still works. Of course, very lame, but still usable, and closed to F11, the whole generates enough sharpness to most uses.

Pros: Sharp, and excellent quality

Cons: Inevitably it slows down a bit 'the af, expensive,

Opinion: Great Tc to bring a 300 to 500 without losing quality and sharpness inevitably af slows down a little but nothing irremediable, certainly better than 2x is a bit worse than 1.4x in terms of speed, but for the rest is perfect! I use the 300 F4 with great satisfaction and certainly the 2.8 is even better !!

Pros: High quality

Cons: Auto focus slows to 300 f4 afs

Opinion: Comfortable with excellent performance on all of my paintings and zoom (300 afs afs vr f 4300 08.02 70 200) increased in all cases the old tce 2X series II ... I'll explain on all lenses above the crop of tce 1.7 makes it better than the 2X II tce not cropped. Some close 1/3 or 1/2 stop is not bad .. Recently I also tce 1.4 but for now I do not see great advantages optical, maybe it's more evident a more ready f ... especially with afs f4. Last consideration should be made with the combination of 70 200 vr that I found most performing of the 80 400 ..
