haha, I think there is a confusion here, CY mean 50mm on DX body is like 75mm on FX body.

Thus, I don't see anything need to be fix, seems the intepretation is different from different people.
As said above, misintepretation. normally, people talk about focal length on DX equivalent of FX. not the other way around.
A dx or fx lens, mount on DX need to multiply 1.5x, so usually people talk and intepret as the equivalent on FX, instead of FX equivalent on DX.
*
Oh well, I think the standard would be focal length on 35mm sensor size (FF).

I'm not sure about Medium Format, do they have their own focal length or do they multiply 0.7 to get the effective focal length?

Hmm, you're right. I don't think current models with top LCD doesn't have an AF motor.

The Kenko 300 Pro DG 1.4x TC will AF with your AF-D lens. Latest Nikon TCs will only work with AF-S tele lenses.
Both the lenses you mentioned are AF-S type lenses. They should work fine on your D5100.

In fact, just pick any AF-S type lens and you should be fine on your D5100.
I think when comparing the Kenko 1.4x TC and Nikon's 1.4x TC, both are quite equal in terms of sharpness for the centre part with perhaps the Nikon being slightly better. But if compare edge sharpness, the Nikon triumphs. I myself still looking for Nikon's 1.4x TC. I might get it one day since I already have the 1.7x and Nikon's latest 2.0x TC.
*
How does the TC-2.0E III perform compared to your 1.7x? Worth buying? Am looking for a TC for the range, 200mm on FX is just.. short.

You're right. Very very slight play but I'm fine since the Kenko was about RM 500++ when I got it brand new. I think now may be slightly more expensive?
The thing is there is no compelling reason to get it at the moment because the Kenko is not bad. I can buy the Nikon now but when would I use it? Hmmm, perhaps MotoGP? I guess I can still take my time.

Just like the 2.0x TC EIII... I got it the day before F1 started because I wanted 600mm reach which I got what I wanted.  sweat.gif I actually already have the 2.0x TC but it's the first version which is inferior.
Surprisingly, I find that they are about equal in performance which is fine by me. But I read that some people say that the new 2.0x TC is better than 1.7x. Both TCs work best when used about 1 stop down.

The only problem I find with the 2.0x EIII TC is that it slows the AF. But on a super fast 70-200mm f/2.8, should be a fine trade off. Just don't use it on a DX body. The drop in speed is a lot even though mounted on a good DX body. There is a noticeable difference between putting the 2x TC on the D700 and on the D300.
*
I plan to use it for birding and also motorsport,

1 stop down, meaning f/2.8 --> f/5.6 after TC. Then 1 more stop down? The next q would be, how much did you paid for it? Wanna know what's street price like.

birding -> digiscoping biggrin.gif

1 stop, meaning after 2.0x tc becomes f/5.6 and then 1 stop to f/8.
i got mine used for rm1.3k still with lots of warranty, the ori receipt says rm1630.
*
Hmm, so its about RM1630. Initially I saw the RRP about 1900+ almost 2K. A bit shocked LOL.

FX pro and semi pro bodies together this August... Interesting, although I still think the pro will arrive first though then the semi pro coming later just like D3 launched then D700 follows later.
