This lens has no Optical Image Stabilization (OIS, IS or VR (Vibration Reduction)), but does work with any in-camera stabilization your camera or optical stabilization your lens may have.

A pretty impressive difference! And if you’re wondering whether you can achieve the same results by simply cropping: Yes, you can. To achieve the same angle of view of the TC-2.0x you simply need to crop the image without TC by a factor of two. But then you’re losing 75% of pixels and end up with an 11MP photo instead of the original 45MP. Which might well be enough for the intended print or viewing size: a modern 4k Monitor only has 8MP and printing an 11MP photo at a very fine pixel-density of 240 dpi still yields a print of 17×11 in. or 44 x 29cm. One thing to note is that teleconverters always change the balance of your camera setup by adding space between your lens and your camera. If you’re shooting from well-balanced gimbal tripod head, and you start swapping out teleconverters, make sure to re-balance your setup each time. The Nikon Z 2.0x teleconverter, side viewSize: The diameter of both TCs is 72mm (2.8 in.). The length is 19mm (0.7in.) resp. 33mm for the TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x – not counting the protrusion at the front which extends into the mounted lens. The F TCs are 64mm in diameter and 25mm resp. 46mm in length. [0] I then added the 1.4x teleconverter, turning the lens into a 98mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/4: The Sigma 1.4x teleconverter seems to be a pretty solid choice for Sigma lenses. As you can see from this review, it works very well with the new Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 Sport lens and shows impressive performance when stopped down to f/5.6 range and smaller. It is a very compact teleconverter that only weighs 160 grams, so you could leave it on the 120-300mm f/2.8 lens without adding much more weight. Teleconverter NIKON Z 9 + NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S + Z TC-2x @ 800mm, ISO 3600, 1/4000, f/11.0 Crop of the image above Sharpness Superb Nikon Z image quality. More reach. Nikon''s advanced optical design ensures sharp, high-resolution images with only one stop of light loss.

For example, the Nikon 300mm f/4E PF ED has an impressive minimum focus distance of 1.4 meters. The 1.7x teleconverter would extend its reach significantly all the way to 510mm. At such close focusing distance, the lens will have its reproduction ratio increased by the same multiplication factor of the teleconverter lens, so it will go from 0.24x to 0.41x with the 1.7x teleconverter. A nice option for occasional macro work for sure! NIKON D800E + 500mm f/4 VR @ 1000mm (2x TC), ISO 200, 1/250, f/13.0 Filter-thread: no need to buy new ones. The same filters still can be used at the front of the lens. Which in case of the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S are 77mm diameter. [+]

While these waves are usually too subtle to see with our naked eyes except in extreme cases like desert mirages, ultra-telephoto lenses (and telescopes) magnify this effect and make this very obvious when shooting at long distances. Similar to AF performance, lens sharpness, contrast and color rendition will depend on the lens the teleconverter is coupled with. When I used the teleconverter on the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 Sport, contrast and colors looked superb. Sharpness-wise, as expected, there is definitely a drop of sharpness across the frame, but it is not outside of specs or abnormal. As you will see from the below comparisons, the Sigma 1.4x loses about the same amount of sharpness in the center as the Nikon 1.4x TC. The 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF supports the TC-201 and the TC-14A (occasional vignetting) & TC-14B (AF not possible).

Today, I’ll be reviewing Nikon’s first teleconverters for the Z mirrorless system: the TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x. These two teleconverters multiply your focal length by 1.4× and 2.0× respectively, with the usual loss of light. How do the Nikon Z TCs hold up in practice? I’ll answer in this review.
