Nikon Pros Assistance Requested

Am really in need of a teleconverter for an unusual lens. I have a
Nikor 400mm F2.8 AF-I auto focus lens and need a Nikon TC1.4 converter.
Can anyone recommend which will work best. Your time and judgement are
appreciated. Thanks

Gees mate, you have a 400 f/2.8 and you're asking for 'pro' assistance?

Clearly you have better persuasive techniques than me... :-)

Cheers,

Dave E, I know what you're saying. It's a seven grand lens new! I'm
truly lucky, but I just bought it used and got it for a steal. I am not
trying to be a jerk or snob, I am just a guy who lucked out and was in
the right place at the right time. Now I want to increase my good
fortune and turn it into a 560 f4 with a 1.4 converter!

I had a 300mm 2.8 AF-I, & my Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 1.4X worked on it...
until the AF feature in the lens dropped dead.

The only Nikon converter that will retain all functions is the TC-14E
(any model).

If you don't mind losing AF and possibly metering, the TC-14B will work,
too.

For third-party converters, the Kenko telepro 300 also retain all
functions, and has the added advantage over the TC-14E that it
will also allow AF with normal (non-AF-S) AF lenses.

Regards,
Chris
