What f/stop (aperture) does the lens become when 1.4xTC is attached? What about 2.0xTC?
Asked by: Brian
When using a 1.4x, you will lose one stop of light, while a 2x will cause you to lose two stops. Therefore, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S Lens will drop to f/6.3 or f/9 depending on which teleconverter is being used.

How does this plus the 1.4 tc together compared to 600mm? Weight? Sharpness? Practical function for birding?
Asked by: chauna
In terms of size and weight, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S Lens with teleconverter is slightly smaller and lighter than the Nikon Z 600mm 6.3, but the difference is not very big. The teleconverter will decrease some sharpness but only if you pixel peep at 100%. The biggest advantage is the minimum focusing distance of 8.2 feet with the 400mm, while the minimum focusing distance of the 600mm is 13.1 feet. The main reason to get the 400mm is to be able to use it at f/4.5, and when you need more reach, you add the teleconverter. With the 600mm lens, you can never use it at f/4.5.

Will this lens function with the Z-mount teleconverters?
Asked by: Timothy
My understanding is that the 2.0 teleconverter foes not actually double the focus length. Thats a whole other question that deserves to be asked
