The manual simply states the lens is not compatible with teleconverters.
I believe it is the same with all Nikon zoom lenses- the 18-135 is the
same. The reason is the TC extends into the barrel of the lens and would
contact the lens elements. It is purposely made so the flanges will not
mate. If you really want a scan of the page, I can get it for you.

OK, no thanks. I really was wondering if this newer higher $$ lens
with VRII might be designed to allow the use of a TC. There are
several Nikon zoom lenses which are compatible with the TCs, I own
two of them. In fact many of my wildlife shots are taken with the 2x
to get to 400mm on my "walking around lens" and are also handheld. So
I thought this might be another avenue for you, but that didn't pan
out.

Is there a TC that would work with my 18-200mm VR?
