The AF-S Tele-Converter TC-17E II is the first tele-converter to offer a 1.7x lens focal length magnification which suppresses exposure compensation to just 1.5 stops. Designed exclusively for use with AF-S and AF-I Nikkor lenses, it is compact and lightweight.

This tele-converter is able to communicate with signals from most lenses. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with Nikon's exclusive Vibration Reduction (VR), incorporating glass elements that conform to forthcoming environmental standards and is housed in a design that is consistent with the current TC-14E II and TC-20E II.
