Which NIKKOR Z Lenses Take the TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x
Nikon currently lists ten NIKKOR Z telephotos for its Z teleconverters and warns against fitting them to any other lens. Check yours against the list, see the focal length and aperture each converter gives, and know what to update or avoid before you buy.
The short answer
Only if your lens is one of the ten NIKKOR Z telephotos Nikon currently lists. Nikon Europe's support Q&A on the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x, last updated February 25, 2026, gives one list for both converters:
- NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8
- NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S (update camera and lens firmware first)
- NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II
- NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S
- NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR
- NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S (also with its built-in converter on)
- NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S
- NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S (also with its built-in converter on)
- NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S
- NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S
It is not only the big S-Line primes. The 70-180mm f/2.8 and the 180-600mm are in Nikon's non-S range, and both take either converter.
Every other Z lens is off the list. Nikon's Z-mount lineup page shows 49 lenses, so 39 of them are not listed. They include all the wide and standard lenses, and long ones such as the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR, 135mm f/1.8 S Plena and MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S. Nikon says the lens must be designed to physically accept a converter, and warns that fitting one to any other lens may cause damage or malfunction. No other maker's lens is listed.
Seen a list of only eight? The converters' product pages on Nikon's global site still show eight, leaving out the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S and 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II. Nikon's launch announcements for both lenses say they work with the TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x, and the 600mm f/6.3 reference guide lists the converters as compatible accessories. Nikon USA's support article, last modified April 8, 2025, shows nine; it predates the S II. When Nikon pages disagree, go by the newest one and the lens's own documents.
What each lens becomes
The TC-1.4x multiplies focal length by 1.4 and costs one stop of light. The TC-2.0x doubles it and costs two stops. The Note column in the table below names the figures Nikon itself publishes for each lens. Every other figure, including every f-number, works out from those two factors, with f-numbers rounded to the nearest standard value.
| Lens | With TC-1.4x | With TC-2.0x | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 | 98-252mm, f/4 | 140-360mm, f/5.6 | Nikon publishes 252mm and 360mm, and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.96x with the TC-2.0x. Non-S lens. |
| NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S | 98-280mm, f/4 | 140-400mm, f/5.6 | Nikon publishes 280mm and 400mm. Update camera and lens firmware first. |
| NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II | 98-280mm, f/4 | 140-400mm, f/5.6 | Nikon publishes no converter figures for this lens; every figure in this row works out from the factors. Lens firmware 1.10 fixed slow autofocus with the TC-2.0x. Not on the converters' product pages. |
| NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S | 140-560mm, f/6.3-f/8 | 200-800mm, f/9-f/11 | Nikon publishes 560mm and 800mm. |
| NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR | 252-840mm, f/8-f/9 | 360-1,200mm, f/11-f/13 | Nikon publishes 840mm and 1,200mm. Non-S lens. |
| NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S | 560mm, f/4; 784mm, f/5.6 with built-in on | 800mm, f/5.6; 1,120mm, f/8 with built-in on | Nikon publishes 784mm and 1,120mm, and 560mm, f/4 for the built-in converter alone. |
| NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S | 560mm, f/6.3 | 800mm, f/9 | Nikon publishes 560mm and 800mm. |
| NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S | 840mm, f/5.6; 1,176mm, f/8 with built-in on | 1,200mm, f/8; 1,680mm, f/11 with built-in on | Nikon publishes 1,176mm, 1,200mm and 1,680mm, and 840mm, f/5.6 for the built-in converter alone. |
| NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S | 840mm, f/9 | 1,200mm, f/13 | Nikon publishes 840mm and 1,200mm. Not on the converters' product pages. |
| NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S | 1,120mm, f/9 | 1,600mm, f/13 | Nikon publishes 1,120mm and 1,600mm. |
You don't need exposure compensation for the lost light; Nikon says the camera handles it in exposure modes that respond to aperture changes. The lens's VR keeps working, with virtually no drop in performance, according to Nikon.
Close focusing is less clear-cut. Nikon lists the maximum reproduction ratio with a converter as 1.4x or 2x that of the lens alone. On minimum focus distance, Nikon's own pages disagree. Nikon USA's converter pages list it as the same as the lens alone, and Nikon's 2020 launch notice said the converters don't change it. Nikon's global converter pages say it may differ from the figure in the lens's own specifications. If you shoot close to a lens's minimum distance, don't count on that printed figure holding exactly with a converter on.
Choosing between the TC-1.4x and the TC-2.0x
Both fit the same ten lenses. The trade is reach against light, size and weight.
| TC-1.4x | TC-2.0x | |
|---|---|---|
| Focal length | x1.4 | x2 |
| Light lost | 1 stop | 2 stops |
| Construction | 6 elements in 4 groups | 8 elements in 5 groups |
| Weight | About 220 g (7.8 oz) | About 270 g (9.6 oz) |
| Overall length | 37 mm (1.5 in.) | 50.5 mm (2 in.) |
| Distance from camera lens mount flange | 18.5 mm (0.8 in.) | 32.5 mm (1.3 in.) |
| Maximum diameter | About 72 mm (2.9 in.) | About 72 mm (2.9 in.) |
Pick the one that reaches the focal length you need at an aperture you can work with. On a 70-200mm, only the TC-2.0x gets to 400mm; the TC-1.4x stops at 280mm but works out to f/4 rather than f/5.6. On the 180-600mm, the TC-2.0x takes the long end to 1,200mm, which works out to about f/13.
Nikon attaches autofocus caveats to both converters. Depending on the subject, the ambient light and the focus point, the camera may fail to autofocus, or the focus indicator for electronic rangefinding may flicker. Nikon also says AF specifications such as the number of focus points, the area covered and AF-area modes are not restricted with a converter, but the darker aperture and longer focal length may affect AF speed and accuracy in darker scenes.
The two lenses with TC in their names
In the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S and 600mm f/4 TC VR S, TC means a 1.4x converter built into the lens. It is separate from the Z TELECONVERTER you mount behind a lens. Engaged, it turns the 400mm into 560mm at f/4 and the 600mm into 840mm at f/5.6. Both lenses also take one external converter, with or without the built-in one. With the built-in converter on, Nikon gives 784mm or 1,120mm for the 400mm and 1,176mm or 1,680mm for the 600mm, and notes for the 600mm that AF performance may deteriorate depending on subject, brightness and focus position.
That matters for a purchase. On either lens, an external TC-1.4x used alone only matches the built-in converter's 560mm or 840mm. It adds reach only when used together with the built-in converter, which Nikon allows: 784mm on the 400mm and 1,176mm on the 600mm. The TC-2.0x adds reach either way. Used alone, it works out to 800mm on the 400mm, and Nikon gives 1,200mm for the 600mm.
Traps before you buy
- One external converter at a time. Nikon says two Z converters cannot be used at once. The built-in converter on the two TC lenses doesn't count; Nikon allows one external converter with it.
- No FTZ. Nikon says the Z converters cannot be used with the FTZ mount adapter, so an adapted F-mount telephoto is out. For what adapted lenses can do, see adapting Canon EF and Nikon F lenses.
- Mount the lens on the converter first, then the converter on the camera. Nikon says the converter's front lens mount sticks out beyond its base and could damage parts inside the camera.
- Firmware. For the original 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, Nikon says to update camera and lens firmware to the latest versions. On the 70-200mm S II, lens firmware 1.10 fixed slow autofocus with the TC-2.0x. Nikon's 2020 launch notice for the converters also said camera firmware must be current.
- Update lens firmware with the converter off. Nikon's firmware pages for both 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses say to mount the lens directly on the camera, without the converter. On the 400mm f/2.8 TC and 600mm f/4 TC, set the built-in converter to 1x before you start and leave its switch alone until the update finishes; Nikon says the update can't run at 1.4x.
- DX bodies work. Nikon says the converters work with any Z-mount camera, FX or DX. On a DX body the crop applies in addition to the converter's factor; translating a lens spec between sensor formats has the math.
What to check on your own gear
- Read the full lens name on the barrel or box and match it word for word. Similar names can differ in fit: the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S is listed and the 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is not; the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is listed and the 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR is not. The 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S and VR S II are both listed; there the suffix changes the firmware note, not the fit.
- Check firmware. On the camera, MENU > SETUP MENU > Firmware version shows the camera and lens firmware versions. Compare them with the latest on Nikon's Download Center.
- Check the lens manual. Nikon USA's advice is to confirm converter support there. In the 600mm f/6.3 VR S reference guide, for example, the converters appear under Accessories, in the Other Compatible Accessories list.
If your lens is not on the list
A converter can't add reach to it, and Nikon warns against trying. On an FX body, you can set the camera's image area to DX (24x16) instead, which crops to a narrower view with no converter; Nikon's 400mm f/4.5 VR S page describes this as reaching a 600mm equivalent. Translating a lens spec between sensor formats has the crop-factor math. Past that, the reach has to come from a longer lens.
If you are choosing that longer lens partly to add a converter later, check it against Nikon's current list. Nikon calls the ten above the currently compatible lenses, and the list has grown: Nikon USA's April 2025 version has nine, and Nikon Europe's February 2026 version adds the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II. Nikon's 2020 launch notice said the converters would also work with suitable Z lenses released later. On May 7, 2026, Nikon announced it is developing a NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S with a built-in 1.4x converter; that announcement doesn't say whether it will take the external converters.

What this page does not tell you
- Nikon's own lists disagree. The converters' global product pages still show eight lenses and Nikon USA's April 2025 article shows nine. This page follows Nikon Europe's list of ten, updated February 25, 2026. If they differ when you look, go by the newest Nikon page and your lens's manual.
- Nikon's documents disagree on whether minimum focus distance changes with a converter, and the page reports both positions. If you shoot near a lens's minimum distance, don't count on the printed figure holding exactly.
- Nikon doesn't publish every figure in the focal-length table. Figures the Note column doesn't name, including every f-number, are worked out from the 1.4x and 2x factors.
- The count of 49 Z lenses, 39 of them not listed, comes from Nikon's lineup page on September 23, 2026. It will change as Nikon adds or retires lenses.
- The NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S has only been announced as in development (May 7, 2026), and Nikon hasn't said whether it takes the external converters. Check Nikon's list again once it is released.
- The autofocus notes are Nikon's own caveats, not hands-on results. Check Nikon's page for your lens before relying on autofocus with a converter in low light.
