Nikon Z 1.4x vs 2x Teleconverter — Which One Do You Really Need?

Thinking about adding more reach to your Nikon Z lens without buying a $15,000 super-telephoto? In this video, I compare the Nikon Z 1.4x and 2x teleconverters in real-world shooting situations—wildlife, sports, and even a trip to Alaska where I used both while photographing bears!

We’ll cover the pros and cons of each, how they perform on popular lenses like the 70-200mm f/2.8 and the 180-600mm, and how tools like DxO PureRAW 5 can fix most of the common optical issues in post. Plus, I’ll share when I reach for the 1.4x, when I need the 2x, and why teleconverters aren’t the dirty word some photographers think they are.
