Which Nikon Z lenses are compatible with this teleconverter?
It is specifically designed for compatible NIKKOR Z telephoto lenses. The first officially compatible lens is the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S. Compatibility may extend to other Z-mount telephoto lenses as they are released—check Nikon's official compatibility list for the most current information.
How much does it reduce the maximum aperture?
The TC 1.4x reduces the maximum aperture by one stop. For example, an f/2.8 lens becomes f/4, and an f/4 lens becomes f/5.6 when the teleconverter is attached.
Does it affect autofocus performance?
Autofocus performance is generally maintained well, though the reduced light transmission from the aperture reduction may affect focusing speed in very low-light conditions. With compatible lenses and recent Z-series camera bodies, autofocus remains reliable for most photographic situations.
Is it weather-sealed?
Yes, the teleconverter features environmental sealing to match the weather resistance of compatible NIKKOR Z lenses, offering protection against dust and moisture when used with similarly sealed equipment.
What is the build quality like?
It's constructed from durable textured anodised aluminium with a fluorine coating on optical elements to repel dust, moisture and fingerprints. The build quality matches Nikon's professional Z-series standards.
Does it come with a case or pouch?
Not specified in the available information. Nikon teleconverters typically come in basic packaging without a dedicated case, but you may want to check the specific included accessories with the retailer.
Will it work with F-mount lenses using an FTZ adapter?
No, this teleconverter is specifically designed for the Nikon Z mount and compatible Z-mount lenses. It cannot be used with F-mount lenses, even with an FTZ adapter, as it must be mounted between the camera body and the lens.
