Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or disI just got the lens yesterday. I bought it along with the Nikon 1.7 tele-converter. Nikon's compatibility chart stated that it would work with the lens but would not autofocus. I was pleased to find that it not only works with the lens but with my D850 it autofocuses just fine. I took it out and set it up on a gimbal tripod. I shot a few shots indoors from down the hall to the brass pot on my windowsill. The autofocus work just great with the 1.7 tele-converter attached. Then I took it out in the backyard did some shots across the yard and again the autofocus is working perfectly with the tele-converter attached. Very pleased. Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II 1.7x Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VRlike about it.

The low score has more to do with my camera and lens combo. My lens is 200-500 5.6 and d5600. The camera defaults to 9.1 once the converter is attached and with the low quality of high ISO on the 5600 makes my shots of poor quality unless it is very bright. Plus, the lack of AF is a real problem. Nevertheless, I'm keeping it because I want to upgrade to a camera with F8 support and has high quality pics with higher ISO. Rob

Offers 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.
Teleconverters are ideal for adding photographic versatility without the high expense of an extra lens. Indeed just by carrying a single lens and a set of teleconverters comprising the TC-14E II, the TC-17E II and the TC-20E II, a photographer can experience a freedom of focal lengths normally only possible with four different lenses.
