It has a pretty good rating and is considered a better lens than the 55-200mm. The 55-200mm is rated for f4 to 5.6 and costs $200. It is considered pretty soft and it isn't readily usable for action.  All the teleconverters cost around $500 and they all add at least one f stop at wide open and a few at higher stops. The 1.4 tele adds the least while the 2.0 adds the most.  The 55-200mm isn't likely to AF with any of the teleconverters and is likely to make a soft lens, even more soft in a bad way. The Nikon website doesn't even list the interchangability with that lens/TC combination and I wouldn't recommend it.</blockquote>
