Thank you very much!!!

I think both of those things are normal, the small bit of play and the rattle from the lever on the TC…I just saw a discussion about that the other day. The combo works better on the Z9 than on my DSLR. Just enjoy it!
That was normal with my FTZ-1…and one of the reasons I switched from the 500PF to the 400/4.5 and Z TCs. Can't help with the F TCs as I never had one…but the 500PF did focus better with the Z bodies since the f8 limit was gone.I also have two small problems:
I recently bought a TC 1.4 III from Amazon which I put on a 500mm f/5.6 PF. I'm new to Nikon, I have the Z9 now and I have a bit of "play", that is, when I turn the lens it moves a bit in the ftz adapter and probably in the TC. It is normal? Have you met before?
And problem number 2: the Tc has a small metal lever that moves freely and makes a noise, both when it's on its own and when it's mounted on the camera with the lens. Is this normal?
Great result for sure!I’ve been using my 20+ year old TC14EII, A TC17 and a TC20EIII on both my Z7II and Z8 with unbelievable results. I never had much luck with the TC20 until now.

ThanksGreat result for sure!
Yes, almost always a bit of play in many F mount lenses. It will probably have no effect whatever.Howdy! My lens, the Nikon 500mm f/5.6 Pf, has a little "play" between it and the ftz2 adapter, that is, it moves a little when I turn it. It is normal? Does this affect my weather sealing (water and dust)? I specify that I use it on a Nikon Z9 body
