TC-14E III
Which Nikon teleconverter is the best? Based on heavy field use of all three Nikon teleconverters, the TC-14E III is currently our top recommended teleconverter. It has very little impact on image quality, and it works well with most Nikon telephoto and super-telephoto lenses.
Can you use a teleconverter on any lens?

So can I still autofocus with a teleconverter? In the question that prompted this article to be written (a Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6 and a 1.4x teleconverter), the answer is no. Autofocus will not work, or at least will not work well. This combination will produce a 560mm f/8 lens.

While teleconverters give you decent image quality, they still cause the photos to lose some of it. However, they are still much better than cropping the image, and they preserve way more quality than cropping.
Can a Nikon 200 500 use a teleconverter?

Can I use a teleconverter on a Nikon 200-500mm?
How sharp is the Nikon 200-500mm?
When it comes to lens sharpness, the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR performs admirably. Similar to what we see on other super telephoto zoom lenses, the lens starts out pretty strong at 200mm and its performance degrades towards the long end of the zoom range, which means that at 500mm, the lens suffers the most optically.
