Description

The Nikon TC-201 is a high-quality 2× teleconverter designed for Nikon’s manual-focus F-mount lenses. It doubles the effective focal length of the attached lens—turning a 105 mm into a 210 mm, or a 200 mm into a 400 mm—while maintaining excellent sharpness and contrast.

Built with Nikon’s renowned optical precision, the TC-201 is ideal for photographers who need extra reach for wildlife, sports, or distant details without carrying multiple heavy lenses. Its all-metal construction and precise coupling ensure a solid, reliable fit with classic Nikon AI and AI-S lenses.

Each lens and optical accessory sold through CPB Darkroom undergoes a detailed inspection for clarity, fungus, haze, and coating condition. This unit has clean glass and smooth mounting surfaces, fully tested and ready for use.
