Nikon TC 1.4x

[Spot 24]

I recently purchased a Tamron 150-500 f5-6.7 (A 057) for my Z8. I love the lens. It its not too heavy to hand hold and I get some really nice photos, when I don't mess up.
My question: Can I use Nikon's TC 1.4x on this lens. I asked Tamron and they could not "guarantee functionality with other branded TC's). Thoughts?

No. It's not compatible. Nikon has the list of lenses that are compatible on their website listed for each tc.

As stated, that lens does not accept teleconverters. Even if it did, it is questionable whether a zoom of that range would work well with a teleconverter. I have the Nikon Z 180-600 and tested it with both Z 1.4x and Z 2x teleconverters (which both work well with my Z 70-200). The 2x on the big zoom is so bad it is useless and the 1.4x is decent but not great. In fact it is debatable whether it is any better than just cropping the shot without the teleconverter to the same amount of enlargement. However, in your case it's a moot point because you cannot use a teleconverter.

Thank you.

Must be an old list as the Z600mm 6.3 isn't listed

I'm not familiar with the Tamron.
If the rear of the lens doesn't protrude and is recessed then I dont see a problem.
I suggest taking it to a shop and trying it ...

Could be, I just know the official list is housed there. If it's not updated, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be (probably nikon just not thinking about it). But no third party lens will accept nikon TCs (at this time, at least).

Nikon Z TCs will only work with Nikon mirrorless lenses designed to work with teleconverters. Lenses from other manufacturers are not supported.
