I would appreciate any knowledge on these MF Nikon TCs....like the differences about the AI versus the AIS. Nikon claims that the little divot on the mount is basically the only difference between the tc-200 and tc-201 (for 2x on 200mm or less), or the tc-300 and the tc-301 (for 2x on 300mm +). Otherwise the number of lens elements are identical. Somehow this little divot allows "better" f-stop accuracy, but the f-stop is manually controlled on a MF Nikkkor? I have only seen a tc-301 in use once by a guy lugging an 800mm f5.6 ais shooting birds with the tc at Binna Burra in Australia. He claimed it didn't effect image quality much.

Doea anyone have experience with the NIKON TC-201 ais teleconverter? Any with and without examples?
James,
Maybe this will help.
Here is a side by side comparison of the 180/2.8 ED and 180+TC-201
Shot within a few minutes of each other and from a travel tripod IIRC.
