There isn't a MK III TC 1.7 teleconverter. The last version was MkII. Also, the TC20E III is much better than the previous iterations. It was released alongside the 300mm F2.8G ED VRII and provides outstanding results for such a high level of magnification. That being said, I have heard wonderful things about the Z mount Teleconverters. I hope they make some more lenses that are compatible with them!

Aha you are correct! Just checked my emails - I had the TC-17E II - my bad! Good to know about the TC-20E III fingers crossed it bodes well for the Z 2.0x - thanks again!!

Great review. Glad to be part of your community.

Very nice review Christopher! I just picked up a new 70-200 F2.8 S lens (well...traded in a bunch of equipment to get 3 different lenses) but I did not consider the 1.4 TC. I might just pick one up (one of these days). Although, at CA $730 it might be a very long while - lol. Thanks for posting!

Hi. Great review. Are you going to review the 2x converter to? Plz provide cropped (1:1) picture examples too in you reviews. 😊

Good to know the quality and resolution reproduction is this good, I’m looking forward to the 2x but the price is making me wonder if I’d rather buy the Z50 as a spare DX camera

Another brilliant review and I avoided all Tele converters like the plague in my Nikon and Canon gear. This review I will have to re examine tele converters if I go to Mirrorless format in future from my D5 and D6 plus the Canon 1dx mark iii

Honestly, it has completely made me rethink teleconverters. I think we are going to see a lot more innovation. I've been wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that the actual optics of the converter are closer to the sensor? It's an interesting question to ponder. I think it is probably a combination of many factors. Enjoy your current cameras, the D5 is a beast - haven't seen a D6 in the flesh yet!

Nice video Chris! Remember now, the Z 1.4 Teleconverter in crop mode with the Z6 II or the Z7 II will give you a 420mm f:4 which is very, very attractive!!

This is untrue, cropping an image reduces the effective aperture, so it would be an equivalent 420mm f/5.6; basically the same as just using a 2x TC. There is no such thing as a free lunch with optical physics.

So my next question, is there really a difference between the 1.4x teleconverter and just cropping with the 70-200z on its own ?

@HamerReviews

3 жыл бұрын

Well, if you crop you lose resolution and image quality. It’s an option if printing small but not if you need the resolution. Perhaps an option on the Z7 II but I think it’s a push on the Z6/Z6 II. If you can avoid cropping you’ll always get a better image.

Recommendations, which teleconverter?… using a 300mm f4 PF and a Z50. Thanks

So based on your two reviews for the teleconverters, would you say the 1.4x image quality is far superior then the 2.0x times?

That’s the one I’ve mostly been using. They are honestly very good but the 1.4 is extremely good. I have no doubt that the TCs should work with the 100-400 and I’d be surprised if they don’t work with the 200-600

My question might sound silly but I've got to ask anyway. If you put an Z teleconverter on your Nikon Z camera than add an FTZ adapter than an F mount lens let's say Nikon 300 mm F4 pf , do you think it might work? Cheers.
