I shoot a Nikon N80 and I am looking for a used teleconverter (small budget). I have looked on Ebay and could only find a manual focus teleconverter. Do some photographers use this with their AF cameras? Any recomendations would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

I did find a Nikon TC-16a 1.6AF coverter. Is this one any good?

Hi Jeremy,
I'm using a Kenko Pro 300, which was well-regarded by a lot of reports on the internet.
However, beware that it _will_ degrade the quality of your picture, and you should use it only in circumstances where you wouldn't otherwise get the picture.

It degrades image quality because it decreases the strength of the lense: A f/5,6 lense will effectively become an f/11,2 with a 2x converter. With a 1,6 converter it will become a f/8,96 lense. This is not very handy and your pictures will look less bright. Using a teleconverter is a good choice if you have a f/2,8 lense.
It can also work in other situations, where the oppertunity to take the shot only became there BECAUSE of the converter. (if it would've been to far without one for instance)
