Got a used Nikon 300mm f4 D lens today and it works just fine on the camera. However, when I attach a Nikon TC 14EIII teleconverter I get the error message rEE flashing. The handbook says this means the aperture ring is not locked at the minimum f32. Well it is.
Also I have cleaned the contacts and the message persists.
Any comments please

Ah I was going to suggest the f stop ring or the dirty contacts...... nope [emoji107]
 
The telecon isn't compatible then
 
The Mk3 isn't compatible with some older lenses, it's designed specifically for newer and some 'exotic' older lenses you need a Mk2.
 
Thanks guys that's a good starting place.

Off topic - does the Nikon TC 14EIII work with the Nikon 200-500?

Was reading Rockwells review of the III version and he also says it is not compatible with lenses with an aperture ring as mine does. Thanks will look for a Mk 2
