Does the Nikon NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S take a teleconverter?

Nikon Z · 600mm f/6.3 · thread and mount data verified 2026-08-29

2 teleconverters are supported. A teleconverter multiplies the focal length and costs you light — and on a crop body the framing multiplies again.

The 1.4x is the safer buy: 840mm at f/9, inside the autofocus range of current bodies. The 2x reaches 1200mm but lands at f/13, where many bodies restrict autofocus to the centre point — the extra reach is paid for in focus performance, not just light.

Nikon Z Teleconverter TC-1.4x	Yes — Becomes 840mm at f/9.4x lineup page I re-fetched (newer lens, page not updated) Compatibility is stated in Nikon press copy republished by a retailer, not on the current lineup page.	840mm	f/9	1260mm	—
Nikon Z Teleconverter TC-2.0x	Yes — Becomes 1200mm at f/13. Officially supported with AF/VR retained per Nikon press copy. f/13 sits at the outer edge of AF-capable aperture on several Z bodies; Nikon does not itemise this per body, so the body-dependence note is DERIVED, not a Nikon statement. Tier 2 source as above.	1200mm	f/13	1800mm	—

At f/9 some older bodies restrict autofocus to the centre point. At f/13 autofocus is limited on many bodies (often centre-point only). Check your body's AF aperture limit.

Compatibility sourced from the manufacturers' own published teleconverter compatibility statements (manufacturer teleconverter compatibility statements (Sony, Canon USA, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sigma, Panasonic, OM System) — each row carries its own source URL) and verified 2026-08-29. Reach and aperture figures are computed from the lens's own published focal length and maximum aperture — a 1.4x multiplies focal length by 1.4 and costs 1 stop; a 2x multiplies by 2 and costs 2 stops. Lenses whose compatibility we could not verify from a manufacturer statement are omitted rather than guessed. Methodology
