Hi SpyderJan, if you want to play around with a TC, take a look at:

https://www.amazon.com/Kenko-1-4X-Teleconverter-Nikon-Digital/dp/B002C6QE00/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521647977&sr=1-1&keywords=kenko+1.4x+pro+300+teleconverter&dpID=41bTGnB3NJL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

The Kenko should work on your lens. I bought this one for a AF-P Nikon 100-300mm and it works fine. My lens is sharp at the long end to begin with and I don't see appreciable decrease in IQ using it. I do lose a stop in aperture but doesn't make that much difference on bright days, for birding for example. I think that someone mentioned that AF doesn't work on your camera; I'm not sure about that but AF works on my D750. It currently lists for $203 on Amazon but I found a new one there a few months ago for $135. Check around for a better price.

I don't know there is a Nikon AF-P 100-300mm lens on the market, May be you meant the 70-300AF-P VR f4.5-f6.3 DX? It's a DX(crop) lens, your D750 is a FX (full frame) camera. I don't know how good the image come out from this lens with any tele-converter!

My error. It is the FF Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR f/34-8. Thanks for pointing that out. He can read reviews and see if anyone has had success on their DX camera.

I have been looking at extenders, and from what I have seen so far, it is not available for DX format cameras such as my D5500. Is there a 2X extender that will fit the D5500 and the 55-300 AF-S combination? I looked at the: Nikon Teleconverter TC-17E II AF-S Lens in the 1.7X. Either 1.7 or 2.0 would work for me.



According to Nikon, a TC cannot be used with the 55-300. See link to Nikon’s Compatibility Chart.

i have considered all of your very helpful comments and have opt for the Kenko 1.4x Teleplus Pro 300 DGX. True, I will only be able to use it with good light, but the Auto-Focus works well under those conditions and it will be a fun item to add to the kit.
