Teleconverter Mistake
I received the Nikon TC-17EII teleconverter that I had ordered the other day & quickly opened the box to read the instructions. To my dismay this informed me that my Nikkor 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 VRII lens is not compatible with this product. Bummer! 
I read on to learn the the few totally functional lenses that are compatible are top end high speed lenses costing 5-10 times more than my new camera. It's just not going to happen, especially with me unemployed. I jumped on B&H's website and applied for a RMA to return the teleconverter and exchange the $400 for a new Nikkor 50mm 1.4 prime lens. I await their reply. They have a liberal return policiy, being one of the best professional camera shops in the United States. I don't anticipate and problems.

What a pain eh!
I'm sure you'll be very happy with the 50 1.4 - it's one of my favourite lens that I hope to get one day! Look forward to seeing your shots with it Bob!

Fingers crossed that it's all easily resolved Bob
There will be other TC's that will be compatible though if it's something you wanted to get.

It's a lovely lens... Sigma version is meant to be better.

Wow Bob, I had no idea Nikon tc's were so expensive compared to the current mkII Canon tc's.
