NIKON AF-S TC-14E II 1.4X TELECONVERTER – SECOND HAND
The Nikon AF-S TC-14E II 1.4x Teleconverter – Second Hand is a professional Nikon F-mount teleconverter designed to extend the focal length of select compatible NIKKOR AF-S and AF-I telephoto and super-telephoto lenses by 1.4x, providing photographers with additional reach without requiring a longer dedicated lens. Positioned between a compatible Nikon camera and lens, the TC-14E II transforms a 300mm lens into an effective 420mm, a 400mm into 560mm, a 500mm into 700mm and a 600mm into 840mm, making it particularly valuable for wildlife, bird, sports, motorsport, aviation and action photography where subjects are often difficult or impossible to approach. The 1.4x magnification results in a one-stop reduction in maximum aperture, meaning an f/2.8 lens effectively becomes f/4 and an f/4 lens becomes f/5.6, offering an excellent balance between increased focal length and retained light-gathering capability compared with stronger teleconverters. Designed to maintain electronic communication between compatible Nikon cameras and lenses, the TC-14E II supports compatible autofocus, exposure metering and lens information while retaining the handling advantages of the original lens. Its dedicated optical construction is engineered to maintain strong image quality while magnifying the central image produced by the attached lens, making it a useful way for Nikon photographers to gain extra subject magnification when carrying a longer lens is impractical. Compact and considerably smaller than adding another super-telephoto lens to a camera bag, the Nikon AF-S TC-14E II 1.4x Teleconverter – Second Hand is an excellent accessory for photographers using compatible Nikon F-mount telephoto lenses who want greater reach while preserving the flexibility and portability of their existing equipment.
Key Features:
-
Nikon AF-S TC-14E II 1.4x Teleconverter – Second Hand – A pre-owned Nikon F-mount teleconverter designed to increase the focal length of select compatible NIKKOR AF-S and AF-I telephoto lenses.
-
1.4x Focal Length Magnification – Increases the focal length of a compatible attached lens by 40%, providing noticeably greater reach for distant subjects.
-
300mm Becomes 420mm – When paired with a compatible 300mm lens, the TC-14E II increases the effective focal length to 420mm.
-
400mm Becomes 560mm – A compatible 400mm telephoto lens gains the equivalent reach of a 560mm lens when the 1.4x teleconverter is attached.
-
500mm Becomes 700mm – Provides an effective 700mm focal length when combined with a compatible 500mm super-telephoto lens.
-
600mm Becomes 840mm – Extends a compatible 600mm lens to an impressive 840mm, providing substantially greater reach for extremely distant subjects.
-
Only One-Stop Maximum Aperture Loss – A 1.4x teleconverter reduces the maximum aperture by one stop, providing a strong compromise between increased focal length and retained light transmission.
-
F2.8 Lens Becomes F4 – A compatible f/2.8 lens effectively becomes an f/4 lens when used with the TC-14E II.
-
F4 Lens Becomes F5.6 – A compatible f/4 lens effectively becomes an f/5.6 lens while benefiting from the 1.4x increase in focal length.
-
Excellent Balance of Reach & Brightness – The relatively modest one-stop light loss makes a 1.4x teleconverter particularly attractive when photographers want additional reach without the greater aperture penalty associated with stronger teleconverters.
-
Designed for Select NIKKOR Telephoto Lenses – Engineered for use with specific compatible Nikon AF-S and AF-I lenses rather than being a universal accessory for every Nikon F-mount lens.
-
Maintains Electronic Communication – Designed to preserve communication between compatible Nikon camera bodies and lenses for supported exposure, focusing and lens-data functions.
-
Autofocus Support with Compatible Equipment – Autofocus can remain available when the camera, lens and resulting effective aperture combination supports AF operation.
-
Maintains Compatible Exposure Metering – Electronic communication allows compatible Nikon cameras to continue metering exposure with the teleconverter installed.
-
Ideal for Wildlife Photography – Extra focal length helps photographers capture tighter compositions of animals while maintaining greater working distances.
-
Excellent for Bird Photography – The additional 1.4x reach can be particularly valuable when photographing small or distant birds where greater subject magnification is required.
-
Great for Safari Photography – Allows compatible Nikon telephoto lenses to reach further when photographing wildlife that cannot safely or practically be approached.
-
Ideal for Sports Photography – Provides additional reach for photographers working from sidelines, spectator areas or fixed shooting positions.
-
Excellent for Motorsport Photography – Useful when photographing vehicles from behind safety barriers or other positions where physically moving closer to the action is not possible.
-
Suitable for Aviation Photography – The increased focal length can help fill more of the frame with distant aircraft at airshows and other aviation events.
-
Useful for Action Photography – Provides additional framing flexibility when fast-moving subjects are positioned beyond the comfortable reach of the original lens.
-
Greater Subject Magnification – By magnifying the image produced by a compatible telephoto lens, the TC-14E II allows distant subjects to occupy a larger portion of the camera frame.
-
Reduce the Need for Heavy Cropping – Additional optical reach can allow photographers to frame distant subjects more tightly in-camera rather than relying exclusively on substantial cropping during post-production.
-
Compact Alternative to Another Super-Telephoto Lens – Adds significant focal-length flexibility while taking up considerably less space in a camera bag than carrying an additional long telephoto lens.
-
Excellent for Travelling Photographers – Compact dimensions make a 1.4x teleconverter a useful accessory for photographers who need additional reach while keeping their equipment kit manageable.
-
Useful Addition to a Professional Telephoto Kit – Provides compatible Nikon telephoto users with another focal-length option without requiring an additional full-size lens.
-
Nikon F-Mount Teleconverter – Designed for Nikon's F-mount system and intended for specific compatible telephoto and super-telephoto lens combinations.
-
Mounts Between Camera & Lens – The teleconverter attaches to the compatible lens and camera body, magnifying the optical image before it reaches the camera.
-
Purpose-Built Optical Accessory – Unlike digital cropping, a teleconverter physically modifies the optical system to provide additional focal length at the time of capture.
-
Ideal for Fixed Shooting Positions – Particularly useful at sporting events, hides, game reserves and other situations where the photographer cannot simply move closer to the subject.
-
Greater Flexibility from Existing Lenses – Allows one compatible telephoto lens to provide two useful focal-length options: its native focal length and a 1.4x extended focal length.
-
Useful for Full-Frame Nikon DSLRs – Can provide additional telephoto reach when paired with compatible F-mount lenses and supported Nikon DSLR bodies.
-
Useful for Compatible Nikon DX Setups – When used with an appropriate compatible Nikon DX camera and lens combination, the teleconverter's 1.4x magnification works in addition to the narrower field of view associated with the DX sensor format.
-
Potential Mirrorless Use via Compatible Adapter Setup – Nikon Z-series photographers using compatible F-mount lenses through an appropriate FTZ adapter may be able to incorporate supported F-mount teleconverter combinations, but compatibility should be confirmed for the exact camera, lens and adapter setup.
-
Compatibility Should Be Confirmed Before Purchase – The TC-14E II is not universally compatible with all Nikon F-mount lenses due to its optical and physical design, so the exact lens model should be checked before purchase.
-
Professional Nikon Telephoto Accessory – Designed around photographers who require additional reach from high-performance Nikon telephoto and super-telephoto lenses.
-
Excellent Second-Hand Teleconverter Option – A second-hand TC-14E II provides a cost-effective way for compatible Nikon users to add additional telephoto reach to an existing lens collection.
-
Versatile 1.4x Nikon Teleconverter – Combining 1.4x focal-length magnification, only one stop of maximum-aperture loss, electronic communication with compatible equipment and a compact F-mount design, the Nikon AF-S TC-14E II – Second Hand is an excellent accessory for wildlife, bird, sports, motorsport, aviation and action photographers who need additional reach from compatible NIKKOR telephoto lenses.
