Nikon F-mount teleconverter

The Nikon F-mount teleconverters are a group of magnifying lenses mounted between the lens and camera bodies using the Nikon F-mount. The 1.4×, 1.7× and 2× converters are available separately; a fourth, the 1.25×, is available only with Nikon's newest 800mm supertelephoto lens.

Function There are several generations, the newest are the E-II and the latest E-III series, which includes an aspherical lens.

Teleconverters need a fast lens for fast, reliable autofocus. Depending on brightness, contrast and needed autofocus-speed, one should have a minimum total aperture between 11 and 5.6. A total aperture of 8 corresponds to a lens aperture of 5.6, 4 and 2.8 with a 1.4×, 2× and 3× teleconverter, respectively. Sometimes teleconverters do not convert aperture and focal length data included in the Exif information, even if the actual focus and exposure still will be correct. Not every teleconverter will support autofocus with every lens.Teleconverter Compatibility NikoniansNikonians Tele Converter Compatibility Table Teleconverters are often recommended only for lenses with minimum telephoto focal length or equivalent zoom range. All AF-I and AF-S teleconverters support lenses with optical image stabilization (Nikon VR).
