Plena lens for wildlife

So the Z1.4 teleconverter works with 6 lenses total?

I just looked up the 105 Macro VR G and it's been Archived. No new ones for sale from Nikon but the 1.4 II and III will work as well as the 2.0 III.

correct ... I owned the Z 1.4 and Z 2.0 I tested the 2.0 bought it refurbished and it worked ok but it sat in my dry cabinet unused. I used the Z 1.4 a little more and it worked quite well on Z100-400 but that was before I got the Z 800 f/6.3 and Z600 f/6.3 and Tamron z mount 150-500 and now it sits in the dry cabinet. I do very little other than wildlife some people and event stuff with Z24-120 f/4 and Tamron z mount 35-150 f/2-2.8 and no need for TC's there and those cover whatever landscape I do. And I use all of the lenses for quasi macro ie. dragon flies and other bugs etc..
 
Is the 1.4 tele compatible with the Plena? (@wotan.......BCG isn't correcting Plena when I type it......must be your system! LOL!)

If so, tell me about that combo and show some photos!


I just checked - it doesn't appear compatible with the 1.4 tele..... BUMMER!
Yah, not compatible. But not a lens that use case would really call for TC, me thinks.
 
I see Nikon has changed where they list lenses compatible with teleconverters now. The lenses are now listed in the accessories tab on the TC page as related accessories. https://www.nikonusa.com/p/z-teleconverter-tc-14x/20098/overview#accessories

@Jadiehl Jim you got my attention I had not looked. I do not know whey Nikon does not list it in either place noted above.

Both TC's are listed as accessories for the Z600 f/6.3 on the Nikon USA web page.

Consistency is a challenge…I wonder if there are any other lenses left off the list and what might be the reasons…
