Quick Highlights:

Increases the focal length (magnification) of compatible NIKKOR Z lenses by 1 point 4x.
Maintains the main lens’s minimum focusing distance for close-up capability.
Minimal light loss (only 1 stop) compared to a 2x converter.
Extremely lightweight (approx. 220g) and compact for travel.
Compatible with premium Z telephoto zooms and primes.
Features an aspherical element and robust fluorine coating.

Product Details / Description:

Renting the TC-1.4x is an excellent strategy for optimizing your lens kit. It allows you to transform a standard telephoto zoom, such as the 70-200mm, into a highly capable 98-280mm lens, greatly enhancing your ability to capture isolated subjects and action from a distance across Japan.

About the Product

The Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x is constructed with 6 elements in 4 groups, including one aspherical lens, ensuring high image fidelity across the extended focal range. Because the light reduction is only one stop (e.g., f/2 point 8 becomes f/4), the lens maintains faster focusing speeds and better low-light performance compared to a 2x converter.

By increasing the magnification by 1 point 4x while preserving the main lens’s short minimum focus distance, the TC-1.4x is also highly effective for close-up and detail photography, making it a valuable tool for various shooting scenarios. Its durable, weather-sealed construction ensures reliable use in outdoor environments.

Key Features

Optimized optical design for minimal loss of sharpness.
Maintains fast autofocus performance due to smaller aperture reduction.
Compact size (approx. 72mm x 18 point 5mm) is highly portable.
Ideal for maximizing the reach of telephoto lenses for distant subjects.

Faqs:

How does the TC-1.4x affect the aperture of my compatible lens?

The 1 point 4x teleconverter reduces the maximum aperture by one full stop. For example, a 70-200mm f/2 point 8 VR S becomes a 98-280mm f/4 lens.

Why choose the TC-1.4x over the TC-2.0x?

The TC-1.4x has less light loss (1 stop vs 2 stops), resulting in better low-light performance and faster autofocus, and it typically maintains higher image quality than the 2x converter, balancing reach and fidelity perfectly for most users.

Is this teleconverter compatible with all NIKKOR Z lenses?

No, it is only compatible with specific NIKKOR Z telephoto lenses designed with a deeply recessed rear element, such as the 70-200mm f/2 point 8 VR S and several super-telephoto primes and zooms. You must verify compatibility.

Does the camera’s VR (Image Stabilization) still function correctly?

Yes. The camera automatically reads the presence of the teleconverter and adjusts the focal length information, allowing the in-body and lens VR systems to provide optimal stabilization for the new, extended focal length.

How much does the 1 point 4x magnification increase the lens’s maximum reproduction ratio?

Since the minimum focusing distance is unchanged, the 1 point 4x teleconverter increases the maximum reproduction ratio (magnification) by 1 point 4x. This is excellent for tighter, higher-magnification close-up shots.
