Pros: It doubles the focal lengths of compatible lenses while maintaining all automatisms. Robust construction and sealed against dust, dirt and moisture.

Cons: Nothing. Only the price is not exactly cheap but if the 'monkey' gets very agitated and we have the budget for everything we like, obviously, the problem does not arise.

Opinion: I bought it to match it with the already performing Z 180-600 for lunar photos and birdlife. Excellent image quality taking into account the enormous maximum focal length that is reached. The penalties in terms of autofocus speed and sharpness are absolutely negligible if not almost perceptible. Nothing to do with its counterpart for F lenses.

Pros: Turn my 400 f4.5 into an appreciable 800 f9

Cons: I'd say none but the cost

Opinion: I've waited a while to buy it and it will represent, at least for quite a while, my last purchase related to the transition to mirrorless. I got it mainly to match it with my 400 f4.5 to photograph wary subjects. Since many animals in nature, even if quite confident, change their attitude when approached, I prefer to keep a sufficient distance in these cases to have the most natural attitudes possible. This is true in good light where the 2x still returns good images. Sooner or later I'll be testing with 2x on the 70-180 f2.8 and update the review. For the moment, however, I am satisfied with the purchase, knowing in advance the limits in the case of shots at excessive distances.

Pros: Sharpness and blur

Cons: price

Opinion: Tired of carrying around boulders like the Sigma Sport or the 200-500 Nikon, complete with monopod at least, I find myself for the umpteenth time with the unhealthy idea of duplicating a 70-200 / 2.8 Nikon to find a healthy compromise and get to 400 mm with the Z7 (read: either I lose weight or slim the kit, I chose the second). If I had not already had the 70-200 Z the alternative to evaluate would have been the 100-400 Z, the one that stretches, which does not suit me. But I would have had to give up the 70-200/2.8 which is the lens that I love most to use in its different versions since the late 80s. After reading many reviews and views test images, of which the most beautiful and convincing here on Juza, I decided to make the purchase of the Z TC 2x. It is not a painless purchase being the most expensive duplicator ever. (Actually, I think that the new TC 301 at the time cost more, proportionately). I have always been strongly disappointed by the 2x: TC 20E, EII, EIII on the 70-200 VR1 and VR2 I discarded them after the first bad shots (it may have to do with the maf fine, but we are talking about different SLR camera bodies). This time I was very worried and curious because many had rejected this combination. Already from the first test shots of buildings in the distance I appreciated the sharpness up to the edges (I speak of course at 400mm, the purpose was that) at full aperture, with the possibility of further wild crop. I did not find improvements by closing the aperture so I used it a lot at f / 5.6 precisely the maximum aperture: never seen a duplicator so good. I can't talk about the performance of AF for fast-moving subjects, I don't photograph birds, I'm in denial. I only say that the yield is above expectations: finally I have a relatively light and compact combo: logically the zoom ring remains the very familiar one of the 70-200 Z, much more comfortable than the cumbersome ring of the 200-500 or that of the Sigma that turns backwards! The other really positive thing is the yield of the blur that in my opinion remains pleasant as with the smooth 70-200. In short, I am satisfied with the purchase, I am very comfortable as handling, weight etc. When the 180-600 comes out I'll probably take that and the TC 2x I don't think will be usable (1200mm F/12.6???).

Pros: Very versatile and lightweight. Very high quality. Excellent construction.

Cons: After 2 years of use there is very little to complain about.

Opinion: Always very reluctant to the use of multipliers and only after the advice of my friend Arci, I wanted to give it a try and I bought it immediately after the release on the market. From the first tests carried out I was surprised first of all as an optical rendering: even on 45 mpx sensors the loss of sharpness is insignificant even at full aperture. Compared the pairing of the CT in question with the 70-200 on the one hand and the 100-400 on the other, there is only a better microcontrast on the latter lens and only at long distances. On the aberrations side the results were surprising: I invite, those interested, to look at my photos in the astro gallery on the Pleiades and the Andromeda Galaxy to better understand what the (very high) level of this TC is. Even on the af side the loss of speed is minimal and comparable to the use with TC 1.4x of competing brands. I have not yet found more maf errors than the use of the smooth lens. Used even at low temperatures (-23 degrees or so) it has never given problems. Aesthetically, despite a truly massive use, it still looks like it had just come out of the box. A sign that excellent materials have been used.
