BEFORE USING THE TC-16
(Read the following carefully and get the most out of your new AF
teleconverter TC-16 now and in the many years to come.)
Like Nikon cameras and lenses, your new teleconverter is a high-precision
instrument. Mounted between the Nikon F3AF camera body with the DX-1 AF
Finder installed, the only camera assembly the TC-16 can work with, it in­
creases the prime lens’s effective focal length to 1.6X with but a 1-1/3 f/slop
loss in effective aperture.
You'll find your TC-16 able to work with a large number of lenses, providing
autofocus operation only (i.e.. focus-aid function not available) with Nikkor and
Nikon Series E lenses. A built-in micromotor enables the teleconverter lens
elements to move, assuring virtually instantaneous focus detection and pinpoint
subject focus.
An advanced, multiple-element lens construction ensures your teleconverter
will deliver optimum optical performance with but negligible decrease in image
quality. As with most Nikon optics, the TC-16 benefits from Nikon Integrated
Coating (NIC), applied to all air-to-glass surfaces to reduce ghost images and
flare and to make color rendition more natural-looking.
