Excellent for a TC; much better then predecessor
With the usual caveats regarding the usual loss of two stops of light with a 2X TC, and the extra challenges this has for AF in dim scenes, this is an excellent TC when used with the 70-200 f2.8 VRII. If your results are not sharp, consider your "long lens technique"; camera support and/or high shutter speed for 600mm effective focal length are critical.

not up to all the hype
Finally received the AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III after 6 months on order. I think I could get the same quality by cropping and enlarging . Used with 200-400afs manual focus. I have yet to try it with my 200mm f2, but what´s the point when I have the 200-400mm f4

If you have a DX Body, being a FX lens, you will have a convert ratio of 1.5 on you focal length, so you are actually shooting at 36-180MM. Awesome lens by the way.Answer:
No, unfortunately you cant.

There is a list of compatible lens on the Nikon site.It is unlikely that you will like the degradation of any 2x converter on the 80-400.
This lens will have to be focused manually.
The converter will let in less light as the f stop will be increased.
Hopefully the next (AF-S) version will be compatible with all the AF-S Nikkor converters

AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III
2 Answers
I am wondering why the newer TC-20E III is the cheapest in cost of the 3 Teleconverters. Usually, cheaper means lower quality or features.
In the reviews I have read I find the usual, some people like it, some don't, answers but the majority seem to feel that the TC 20E III is a good addition and will work just fine with the 70-200 vr1 f2.8 lens. I am puzzled as to why it is the cheapest of the 3 teleconverters. Are the 1.4 and 1.7 converters better quality? Please advise. Thank you. Don

I still do not see how that equates to a cheaper lens. Your answer tends to support my idea that the lens should be more expensive. What is bringing the price down? I don't want to take issue with it, just understand the why's and whatfore's.Oct 10, 2011 by

Answer:
The other converters are not higher qualityIn fact the TC-20III has the latest technology.
There is a lot less degradation than there was in the previous 2x converter
The problem is that the more you magnify an image, the more any defects in equipment or user technique will show..
You are adding more glass elements to the equation than there are in a 1.4 or 1.7x converter.
The higher image conversion will also negatively effect the f stop and light gathering capacity.

Answer:
The TC-20 E III wouldn't work with this lens. The converter would loose two stops of light which would make the resulting lens a 110-600 f9-f11 and auto focus would not be possible. The viewfinder would be so dim that manual focus wouldn't work either.If you desire more reach, you may consider something like the 80-400 VR (without converters) or Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED (I have this one and its excellent) for use with the TC-14EII.
Good luck,
Greg
