The "low quality Raynox". Well, I'll see. The Raynox c/u lenses are excellent quality.

Well, it's relative - the Nikon TC-E17ED is optically superior to every other afocal telconverter I've ever tried... whereas my Raynox 2020 compares very poorly to my other TC's despite having the longest reach of them all...

There may be sample variance, Adrian speaks very highly of his copy and if I understand correctly it is very old... but my copy performs very poorly, and is a lot more recent. The Raynox is also very light for such a TC, which generally doesn't bode well for optical quality...

I just looked it up.That Nikon goes on the rear of the lens, I think. And advantage of the Raynox is that it goes on the front and you don't lose any aperture.

No, the Nikon TC-E17ED is definitely an afocal (end-of-lens) teleconverter...! I've used it a lot, so I ought to know! ;-D
