The TC200 is the AI version, the TC201 the AIS version of the same
converter, which I would consider a very special-use item, since it
is rarely very good at stops wider than f5.6 (f11 effective), and
is fine on only some lenses (when well stopped down). Maybe its
best use is in flash macro work at f11-16 (f22-32 effective, modified
by extension, other attachments). TTL metering will work fine in M and
A modes, but little else will work.
Hope This Helps
