Your cart is empty.For those who chase impossible shots—birders, nature and wildlife photographers, aircraft, sports and action photographers—reach is key. But so is speed, nimbleness and being in the right spot. The Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x gives you the best of both worlds, doubling the reach of compatible Z lenses so you can bring shorter, lighter lenses into the field and still get the shot. Optimized for the compact mirrorless Z system, it retains 100% resolution, AF and VR functionality, minimum focusing distances and weather-sealing, all with superb rendering performance.

I had the older 1.4x TC and was never really satisfied with it: wasn't sharp, created haloes kind of like my really 500 F/5 mirror nikkor. So I took a chance with this one for my 180-600 nikkor and Z9. I tested it right away, and the results were astounding. I shot some small birds on the powerlines near me at a variety of shutter speeds in both Fx & Dx modes--I could get reasonably sharp images at 600mm+2x in Dx down to 1/250/sec!!!!!!!!!!!!! At that speed and magnification (effectively 1680mm), any loss of sharpness is likely to be the user more than the glass. Plus the Z9 has, what, 5 stops of stabilization? What a pairing! If I really wanted a higher quality image at that speed, I'd use a solid tripod. I haven't noticed any haloing etc. I am super happy with this and carry it with me everywhere. If only it were built into the 180-600, that would solve all my problems!

A few of these became available on Amazon and I was lucky enough to procure one. I had been waiting to get one to use use with my Z 70-200 lens that was also bought during a rare window of opportunity (all of these delays in Nikon product availability sure get old, btw). Anyway, I have now used the 2x teleconverter for a couple months. It does indeed double the strength of the lens. It seriously reduces light sensitivity, as expected. It is usable pretty much in bright daylight only. It has improved my long-distance photos. There is no apparent loss in image acuity, color accuracy, or autofocus - the base capability of the lens is not impaired in those areas. Autofocus does become more difficult, as with any high power lens. Getting the focus at the exact right spot often requires manual intervention, but this is to be expected. It does of course add to the size and bulk of the camera and is one more thing to lug around. Still, Amazon delivered it a day early, it works as advertised, and I do not regret the purchase. Two cons. As with many other reviewers, my tele was shipped in an envelope and the lenses' cardboard box was partially squished. No harm to the lens, but I think pretty much everyone hangs onto the boxes to facilitate later resale so the damage to the box is an actual concern. I got another shipment from Amazon a few days before that was about the same size, cheap, and indestructible - it was shipped in a cardboard box. Other complaint, $600 seems pretty high for a metal tube with one lens element and some electronics. I know this is just what this equipment costs, but seriously there is not much to this particular product. In summary, this 2x teleconverter performs as advertised and has met my expectations and despite the high cost and issue with shipping I am giving it a 5 star rating.

Just got the lens today, put together with my Nikon Z 70-200mm. What a wonderful addition. Worth every penny.

This is the typical high quality Nikon accessory, but keep in mind that it only works with some lenses. It's not something that can be used with just any lens that Nikon makes. My recommendation - do a little more investigation than I did. It's an expensive piece of equipment so you don't want to be disappointed.

I have a Nikon Z-7 camera and a Nikkor Z 180-600 mm lens - the camera messaged they were not compatible and I could not get a photo. I was led to believe that they were. This may be of my making but I am over 90 and I do not know where to turn. The dealer did a fantastic job and deserves five stars - but I am totally frustrated, thus the single star.

I have both the 1.4x and 2.0x converters. I use them on the 100-400mm Nikon Z mount while I wait (forever) for Nikon to release the 200-600 Z mount lens. After doing a lot of testing against both the 100-400 on its own and with the 1.4X and using appropriate enlargements of images to make direct comparisons in image quality I personally have found the difference in quality to be pretty minimal. The 1.4x does not affect quality at all, the 2.0x is a little softer if you pixel peep. In real life the results at full frame resolution is negligible , and the advantage is that the 100-400mm even with either converter is both smaller and lighter than using an available 150-600mm lens from Sigma, Tamron, etc - which you would also need an F Mount adapter to use as those companies do not make Z mount versions. I know, I have been that route, and if you are 'birding' in the field it can make a difference. Both these converters are very much improved on previous generations from any manufacturer. One thing to consider though is there is a shallow depth of field (which may be an asset in some situations), and with the 2x you are starting at f11 as a minimum exposure which older cameras may have an issue with autofocus, and you can't close down f stops very much before you get into diffraction issues. Again, having said all that I have had excellent and emminently publishable images with this combination.

Nikon has a list on lenses this teleconverter will not work with. I checked that list before I bought this teleconverter. THAT LIST IS NOT COMPLETE! It does not work with the kit lens, it does not work with a small zoom lens (24-70) although that lens is not identified in the list. It also will not work with the 28-400 lens - which also is not on its list. So it appears it does not work with prime lenses or zoom lenses. If it only works with S lenses Nikon should disclose that.

Bought this to go with the 180-600 lens and it works great. I shot the 2024 Total Eclipse with it and all photos came out perfect.

It is perfect to add some distance without the bulk of another lens.
