Nikon TC-200 2x Teleconverter

Nikon TC-200 2x Teleconverter - Good Condition | Specialty Lens | Professional Focal Length Doubler for Nikon Manual Focus Systems

The Nikon TC-200 (S/N: 242938) is a high-performance 2x teleconverter engineered by Nikon to double the focal length of compatible lenses with minimal optical compromise. Specifically optimized for lenses with focal lengths up to 200mm, it effectively transforms a standard 135mm lens into a powerful 270mm telephoto or a 200mm lens into a 400mm super-telephoto. Built with Nikon's legendary all-metal construction and high-index optical glass, the TC-200 maintains the mechanical soul and tactile precision of the manual-focus era. It is a vital tool for sports, wildlife, and landscape photographers looking to extend their reach without the weight of an additional large lens.

Key Features

• 2x Magnification factor effectively doubles the focal length of the primary lens

• Robust, all-metal barrel construction built to professional Nikon standards

• Retains full aperture coupling for accurate light metering on compatible bodies

• Universal Nikon F-mount (AI) compatibility for seamless integration with vintage systems

Introductory Paragraph The Nikon TC-200 is the definitive choice for the photographer who demands extra reach without sacrificing bag space. This specific unit (S/N: 242938) allows you to expand your creative horizons by doubling the magnification of your existing Nikkor primes. Unlike generic third-party converters, the TC-200 was designed specifically to match the optical characteristics of Nikon’s own glass, ensuring that color rendition and contrast remain consistent. Because it features the AI (Aperture Indexing) coupling, it communicates perfectly with your camera’s meter. Whether you are capturing distant wildlife or compressing mountain ranges, this teleconverter provides the mechanical reliability and optical extension that defines the Nikon professional system.

Condition Report Good condition. The teleconverter barrel (S/N: 242938) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The internal glass elements are optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The mount surfaces are clean and attach firmly to both the camera body and the primary lens. The aperture coupling lever is snappy and operates smoothly without resistance.

Specialist Note "The TC-200 is a brilliant piece of kit for the manual-focus enthusiast. What I love about this S/N: 242938 is how it feels—it has that dense, 'solid' Nikon feel that modern plastic converters lack. While you do lose two stops of light, the sharpness you retain when using it with a high-quality 105mm or 135mm Nikkor is impressive. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that turns a standard kit into a versatile telephoto setup. For anyone shooting on a Nikon F3 or FM2, this is an essential accessory for your lens bag."
