No, you cannot use the Z teleconverter on a non Z lens, and only a few Z lenses can use the converter.
you can use an F converter on the FTZ adaptor with an F lens…just make sure the lens and converter are compatible. Of course an F teleconverter will work with your D850 as well

Thanks Patrick, for your quick response. If I use FTZ adapter in between Z camera and F mount tele 200-500. Will it work full fledged with results?

Yes it will work perfectly. Tne lens is not fast focussi and some people think it’s the camera. It is a slow lens on a DSLR. Having said that, I loved ipising the lens on my D7500 in Antarctica in 2020.

In addition to Patrick’s response, with which I concur, the 200-500 with a TC-14Eii or iii will actually focus faster on a Z8 or Z9 than on the D850. In decent light, responsive AF is also achievable with 1.7x and 2x TCs on the Z8 or Z9 although IQ suffers.

ARC..., is it possible with Z 2.8 70-200 VR S zoom and Z 2x TC can work ok or or average? Pls advise.

I don’t have that lens, so can’t comment directly. But by reputation, the 70-200 is said to be very sharp. So adding a 2x TC could yield very usable images, depending on what you’re trying to achieve - especially if it’s for occasional use and you’re trying to avoid purchasing a longer lens. However, if you plan on shooting a lot at 400mm, you might consider getting a lens that offers that focal length.
