Please make sure you understand the limitation of the modification before bidding. The combination is great to shoot still, macro and slower moving objectives such as swimming birds or running kids. The standard practice with the TC-16A is to focus the lens manually to approximately within the range of sharp focus, then press the shutter button and have the TC-16A provide sharp focus.
Specification:
1.  Can be used under P,A,S and M mode and different metering mode: weighted, centered and spot.
2.  EXIF shows focal length 145mm, Aperture shows f/4-32 (assume max aperture is 2.8)
3.  Flash can be used under TTL mode
4.  EV may be adjusted ±0.3-0.7
5.  In-focus-indicator will light up and a beep will sound when focus
Instructions(may vary with different types of lens):
1.  Attach the TC and MF lens to the camera body securely. Make sure you hear a click.
2.  Go to Custom Setting Menu/f Controls/f5(f9 on D700) Command Dials/Aperture Setting/Aperture Ring, select OK, then:
a)  Under A and M mode, you can use aperture ring to adjust aperture
b)Under P and S mode, you have to turn aperture ring to the second smallest aperture(For example, if the two smallest apertures are f/32 and f/22, then set the aperture ring at f/22 otherwise you will get FEE error) and use real dial to adjust aperture
3.  Go to Custom Setting Menu/f Controls/f5 Command Dials/Aperture Setting/Sub-command Dial, select OK, then:
a)  Under A, S, P and M mode, you have to turn aperture ring to the second smallest aperture(other aperture will cause FEE error)
b)  Under A, S and P mode, use rear dial to adjust aperture. Under M mode, use front dial to adjust aperture.
Modified TC-16A also works on any Nikon digital camera support AF-D lens, such as D70 and D80(not on D40,  D60,D3000 series and D5000 series). However you can only use camera dial to adjust aperture.
