[QUOTE="salukfan111, post: 504004, member: 39212"] Not really. A third party will relocate one pin and change a wire on the CPU and it is good on every camera with a screw drive (buy it off ebay for 200 bucks). Apparently NIKON did this because they were behind on AF and once they had AF they quickly changed the cameras to "orphan" these devices. I really surprised that given the fact their lens last a lifetime they aren't hoovering up these TC16As and the superior MF lens floating around out there AND eliminating the screw drives on their cameras to force people into their silent wave motors. If it works as I hope, that 200 dollar gadget and a few several hundred dollar MF supertelephotos will allow me to avoid spending thousands on a big AF lens. I can carry and handhold that 300mm f/4.5 all day and still be able to carry a couple other lens. [/QUOTE]
