The Viltrox TC-2.0x Teleconverter for Nikon Z is a 2x teleconverter that extends the focal length of compatible Nikon Z lenses, with electronic communication for autofocus and aperture control on supported lenses. It is aimed at wildlife, sports, and other long-reach photography, and sources describe it as a compact, metal-built accessory with about a 2–stop light loss.
Main specs
- Magnification: 2.0x.
- Mount: Nikon Z.
- Optical design: 9 elements in 5 groups.
- Weight: reported around 185 g to 229 g depending on listing/source.
- Features: electronic contacts, EXIF support, AF/aperture communication, and dust/splash resistance in some listings.
Compatibility
It is described as compatible with select Nikon Z full-frame lenses, and some listings note best results with lenses that have maximum apertures of f/4 or wider to help retain autofocus performance. Because compatibility is lens-dependent, it is worth checking your exact Nikon Z lens model before buying.
Price context
Recent listings and reports place it around US$280 pre-order pricing, which is much cheaper than Nikon’s own 2x teleconverter. Retail listings may vary by region and availability.
Practical effect
A 2x teleconverter doubles reach but also reduces maximum aperture by two stops, so a 70-200mm lens becomes 140-400mm and f/4 becomes f/8 in effective light gathering terms. That makes it useful for distant subjects, but you should expect some tradeoff in autofocus speed and low-light performance, especially on slower lenses.
