Hi All,

I have the Z50ii and a Nikkor 200-500 with an FTZ adapter, can I ask is the AF-S TELECONVERTER TC-14E III compatible with this set up please ?

Thank you in advance

Check out the Nikon Teleconverter Compatibility Chart. According to this, there are limitations with that lens when coupled with the TC-14EIII.

Remember that with a 2x converter, you are losing 2 full stops of light. That would make it F11. This is likely the reason that the 200-500 is listed in the chart as not AF compatible with this converter. This chart lists only DSLR cameras in exceptions, but I doubt the Z50ii will autofocus with an F11 lens. Not sure what you are looking to do with this lens, but 500mm on a crop frame camera with a 2x converter will give you an effective 1500mm focal length. That is a rather long tele. Without the converter it is effectively 750mm and no loss of light.
