Mike,
Did you order your tc 1.4 lll from an independent dealer or from one of the NY dealer like B&H?
Test with new TC 14E III and 300 mm PF on D500

Hi Ralf, I live in Austria in Europe and got mine from a dealer in Vienna, but I’m afraid that might not be of too much help for you, sorry.
Thanks Mike. I may try a dealer near me where I purchased my 500pf. Local dealers seem to have better luck when supplies are low.
Good luck!

I swapped out my 200-500 for a 300 PF and a 1.4 TC iii over a year ago. And around 6 months ago I added a 2.0 TC iii just to try it. I found my keeper rate increased with the TC 2.0. Now it is my go to setup and the 1.4 generally sits in the bag. Only downside is in lower light situations.
@Richard Stern - Way the heck back when the TC14II was released, I got it. Still own it. I also bought the 14III at release, can't see much if any difference. I was told the PF lenses needed the iii to meter correctly, but...
Anyway I own and use both and see no difference on 500PF and other f4 lenses, I don't own the 300.

I had to grab my TCiii at “the wrong price” last spring but it was pristine and life’s too short to worry about $100. They really are hard to come by so used ones go for serious premiums. My biggest concern at the time is that Nikon will never produce more... so I decided to grab one when I still could and the premiums were not too crazy. It’s a gamble, they might do one last production run but who knows when, or they might not.
it looks like prices on eBay have gone up another $100 from when I bought mine - now mint used ones go for $200 above the “new” price when last available. And new in box is almost 2X initial prices... Even if Nikon makes on last batch, I wouldn’t be surprised if they reprice it at $500 or more.

Trying to find a new TC14E III actually is like trying to find “Fairy Dust” I can find Gold Dust and buy it as well. My search continues and for notification that the back order has been filled.

Hi Philippe, Vienna Camera, but it seems they do not have one either at the moment.
Still stock in many places in Australia.... not cheap though.
