- Maintains the original minimum focusing distance for enhanced versatility.
- Extremely compact and lightweight (approx. 270g) for a 2x teleconverter.
- Compatible with premium Z telephoto zooms and primes (e.g., 70-200mm f/2 point 8 VR S).
- Features an aspherical element and fluorine coating for optical quality and durability.
Product Details / Description:
Renting the TC-2.0x teleconverter is the most flexible way to achieve super-telephoto capabilities without the expense or bulk of a dedicated super-telephoto lens. This is particularly valuable for tourists focused on capturing birds, wildlife, or distant architectural details across Japan.
About the Product
The Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x features a precision optical design of 8 elements in 5 groups, including one aspherical lens. This construction minimizes aberrations and ensures the image quality remains excellent even though the effective aperture is reduced by two stops (e.g., f/2 point 8 becomes f/5 point 6).
By doubling the focal length while keeping the minimum focusing distance the same, the teleconverter also doubles the maximum reproduction ratio, which is ideal for close-up shooting of smaller subjects from a comfortable distance. Its robust design features fluorine coating on both the front and rear elements for easy cleaning.
Key Features
- Doubles the focal length (2 point 0x magnification).
- Maintains the same short minimum focusing distance as the main lens.
- Compatible with high-performance NIKKOR Z telephoto lenses.
- Compact size (approx. 72mm x 32 point 5mm) ensures portability.
- Effective for increasing the reach of both prime and zoom telephoto lenses.

Faqs:
How does the TC-2.0x affect the aperture of my lens?
The 2 point 0x teleconverter reduces the effective maximum aperture by two full stops. For example, a 70-200mm f/2 point 8 lens becomes a 140-400mm f/5 point 6 lens. A 400mm f/4 point 5 becomes an 800mm f/9.
Will the autofocus performance be slower when using the teleconverter?
While the camera and lens are designed to work seamlessly, the 2-stop reduction in light reaching the sensor may cause a slight decrease in autofocus speed, especially in very dark environments or when using the extreme telephoto end with wide apertures.
Can I use this with any NIKKOR Z lens?
No, teleconverters are only compatible with specific NIKKOR Z telephoto lenses that have a deeply recessed rear element. You must check the official compatibility list (which includes lenses like the 70-200mm f/2 point 8 VR S and the 400mm f/4 point 5 VR S) before use.
Does using the TC-2.0x make the image less sharp?
Any teleconverter can slightly degrade image quality compared to the bare lens. However, the premium optical design of the Z TC-2.0x is built to minimize this effect, maintaining excellent sharpness, especially when shooting with high-quality “S-Line” lenses.
How does the teleconverter handle the camera’s Vibration Reduction (VR)?
The camera system automatically detects the teleconverter and adjusts the effective focal length accordingly. The powerful in-body VR and the lens’s optical VR work together to provide optimal stabilization for the new, longer focal length.
