When length and close focusing matter most
I use this occasionally on my 300/4 AF-S and 105/2.8 VR macro (on D7000). While AF can work in good light, I usually manually focus. The fact that the minimum focus distance doesn't change results in 2X life size with the 105 and 0.5X with the 300 (at 600mm it's my longest "macro" lens). I have used both combinations wide open, and had acceptable results, but a stop or two helps with IQ.
If you need reach and can't afford the 600/4, this gets you there. If you want more than 1:1 with your 105VR (and a 210mm focal length) this gets you there. If you want a 600mm 0.5X macro lens, this gets you there. If those are places you want to go, get the TC.

Sharp and clear!
I love this teleconverter! I use it with my 70-200 2.8 VRII lens which gives me the equivalent of a 600mm lens on my Nikon D300s. Tack sharp!
Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
I shot the hawk with this set-up. Look at the detail. Unbelievable!

Excellent teleconverter!
This is an incredible addition to the lens arsenal. The bokeh, for me, is just plain smashing than can range from creamy to abstract.
A good solid tripod and shutter release cable are my only recommendations to produce superb images! Well worth the money!!

Worth the wait
I purchased this teleconverter for use with a Nikkor 70-200 VR II but had to wait over 6-months for it. That's how much it is in demand. It was worth the long wait. I have it mounted on a D700 and - with appropriately high ISO settings and that great VR - I can actually hand-hold and get a tack sharp shot. I didn't think I could shoot this rig without a tripod, but it performs admirably well hand supported.
April 14, 2011
I originally thought a teleconverter might be a glass to have but hesitated to buy one until the TC-20EIII came out. Still I hesitated cause maybe I can do without it. Money's tight you know. But planning for this Hawaii family trip gave me anticipated needs of reaching those far away subjects. Have to get it. Boy was I glad. The images I collected with my D700/70-200g2.8II/TC20EIII were unreal. I was told by a friend to keep the center focus point in the center for best results. You have to get one. It is going to blow you away at what images are possible.

The AF-S 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED lens is not compatible with any of our current teleconverters since the rear elements of the lens will touch and may damage the elements in the teleconverter.The AF VR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED lens is only compatible with the TC-201 Teleconverter (Vibration reduction mode is not effective and only manual focus is available).

I know it say on the compatibility chart: "NIKKOR lenses not listed cannot be used with the AF-S Teleconverters." However, I'm just hoping that this lens was just skipped over.

Will the AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED lenses work on the TC-20E III converter?
The Teleconverter Compatibility chart seems to say it will, but the listing of the 80-200mm lens has two errors. The product number is listed as 1933 instead of 1986. 1933 is not listed for any of the Nikkor lens. Also, the 80-200mm lens is listed as AF-S on the chart, instead of AF.
