Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x

I photograph wildlife, mostly birds. Using the Z6-2 with Z 1.4 tele attached to Z400 f4.5. Before having the Z400, my go to lens was a F mount 300 f4 with 1.4 TCII attached to the Z6-2 with FTZII adapter. I did get very good photos (sharp) with F mount set-up, but the keeper rate was much lower compared to the Z mount set-up. Not only is the keeper rate higher, but the photos are sharper with the Z mount set-up. I would say that the teleconverter is attached to the Z400 lens 80%-90% of the time. Attached photo of Cooper's hawk taken with the F mount set-up. Also attached two photos taken with the Z mount set-up. Cardinal and Warbler.

I use it with my Z100-400 zoom and the extra reach is wonderful. I've noticed the autofocus is a just a tad slower to catch but am adapting.

I'm at last able to get the shots I've dreamed of. I was worried that adding a teleconverter to my 180-600 lens would make shooting birds in flight at dawn impossible, but autofocus works fine, even at lower light levels.

Not only do I get more reach, I apply it to my 600mm F4 S lens and get great images. My lens focus just as fast with the 1.4 tc attached to It.

It's great! Just a little more reach. No effect on picture quality. Like all my “Z” stufff, Amazing.
