Do teleconverters affect image quality?
All teleconverters bend the rays of light an additional time after they leave the lens and before they get to the camera sensor. This is going to have some effect on image quality. Now, just like with lenses, a good quality teleconverter will have less effect than a bad quality converter on image quality.
Are teleconverters worth buying?
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. This probably goes without saying, bit when you’re using a longer lens, there’s more camera shake.
Which teleconverter is the best?
TC-14E III
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.
How many stops do you lose with a teleconverter?
A 1.7x teleconverter will lose 1½ stops of light, so with an f/2.8 NIKKOR lens, you will end up with an effective wide aperture of f/4.5; A 2x teleconverter loses 2 stops of light, so an f/2.8 lens drops down to a wide aperture of f/5.6.
How many stops do you lose with a 1.4 teleconverter?
one stop
A teleconverter will reduce the amount of light that reaches the sensor, thus decreasing your lens’s maximum aperture by one or two stops. Normally, a 1.4x teleconverter will create a light loss of one stop and a 2.0x teleconverter, a light loss of 2 stops.

Teleconverters should have minimal effect on subjective bokeh qualities. They’re just magnifiers. If they didn’t magnify your bokeh faithfully they wouldn’t magnify the in-focus part of the image faithfully either.
