    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    Just received the z TC1.4x. Did a quick test indoors: @600mm jpg, cropped, DN AI, scaled down extended 840mm no crop, tone curved, DN AI, scaled down Due to the poor weather, no animals are available for the test for the details on subjects. From the indoor quick test, it looks working fine...

    Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

    I think this iShoot one is good for me (only $50 compared to Kirk's $250 https://kirkphoto.com/lens-mounting/nikon-auto-focus/z-180-600mm-f-5-6-6-3-vr/replacement-collar-for-nikon-z-180-600mm-f-5-6-6-3-vr.html). But I already had a plate that was used for the Sigma 160-600 and now is used for...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    Z186 can do 0.25X @180mm FL. Adding a TC1.4 will do 0.35X only.

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    I love this argument! But there is a statement that comes from Nikon website: "Note: The minimum focus distance for lenses mounted on a teleconverter may differ from that stated in the "Specifications" section of the documentation provided with the lens." Does that mean the minimum focus...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    Cropping is considered less desirable than using TC1.4 by SOME photographers. Since z6 isn't exactly a high-resolution full sensor, the cropped images actually made me consider using a TC...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    I have recently gotten the z186 after six months of waiting. The first outing with my z6ii at a wildlife refuge resulted in some fair images of small birds. However, the overall unimpressive turnout (subjects were too small to fill the frame) is probably due to the far distance of the scene. So...

    Did you try after mounting to hold the lens (small one) and turn (rotate) the body to notice any tiny movement?

    Connecting z lenses to z camera

    The thread is long! The OP's system (z9+70-200) rocking issue is way over the rotational play I found on my system. The final turnout from Nikon repair is it's not due to the body/lens mount but the defect of the body cover. Yet the first time from Nikon's investigation on the rotational play...

    Zf Released!

    Do you have another Zf to take this shot? Oh wait, I see it's a mirror-reflection shot! Nice bokeh too.
