Nikon 1.4 tc

I am lead to believe the only difference is that the TC II lineup was to do with using lighter alloys to decrease the weight. As far as I understand there are no optical or compatibility changes.
 
To quote Ken Rockwell: "Nikon changed the cosmetics slightly, changed the lettering to read "AF-S" and renamed it the TC-14E-II. ... The TC-14E and TC-14E II are identical except for the name and trim."
 
@ desantnik. I see from your gear you have the 1.7x TC and the 70-200mm VR. Have you used the TC on that lens and what have the results been like?
 
Personally, 90% of what I have taken with that combo is a bit "blurgh". Probably for anyone not used to what the 70-200 VR is capable of *without* the TC would think it would be ok, but its really a lot worse.

I only use it now if I find I am out somewhere minus the 300 f4 and desperately need the extra reach.

"emergency use only" is how I would describe it.
 
Thanks for that. Wish you'd been able to say something different, as I couldn't justify a dedicated lens at that length. Oh well.
