I think it is strictly for AF-S. The mount has glass sticking out that
will not allow me to attach it to my other lenses. My AF-S has a deep
hole to recieve the teleconverter. I don't know for sure that other
lenses don't have this deep hole.

... sounds fun )
28-200 mm f/3.5 - 5.6 G (IF)

I don't see any mention against it's use in the TC-20E-II pamphlet. What's
the f# of this lens? You lose two stops by adding the TC-20 and need a
minimum f/5.6 coupled for AF and metering to function.

You can see in that picture the part that sticks out.
It's around $400.

Sounds good Ed but Paul means opposite you know, so I`m confused now :-/
thought TC-20E II with 28-200 mm on D70 makes good combination.

Nope, that's the side that connects to your lens. If your lens has a
deep hole it might work.

If as documented, you lose two f/stops due to the 2x converter, and the D70
needs a minimum of f/5.6 for auto focus and metering to work, this lens won't
work, since at the telephoto end, it + the TC is equivalent to f/11. This is
why the TCs generally list constant f/2.8 lenses (which give you f/5.6 when you
lose two f/stops).
