I don't recommend a tele converter on any zoom lens. Great for prime lens
I beg to differ. I use the AFS 70-200mm 2.8 Nikon FLED lens with a TC-17e 1.7 ON A D500 body. The photo was taken from across the field in the rain. Game-winning TD. ISO 25600 1/800 F4.8

Would you also recommend buying a product that is physically incompatible with the OP's zoom lenses?

My comment was about using an extender with a zoom lens. I have both 300 and 400mm 2.8 glass but have found the zoom and a extender give me wider coverage. I would expect problems with generic substitions and with incompatible zoom lenses. I also found that older worn TC-17 extenders tend to have problems focusing.

Fair enough -- this was with a Nikon z-5/ftz
So, the OP has a DSLR and you have a mirror less - BIG difference as regards AF with TC !

From personal experience, TC's with f2.8 and f4 constant aperture zooms can be very, very good !

A Nikon 1.4 teleconverter will not work on your lens. And that's a good thing considering that teleconverters have never increased sharpness of any lens. Personally I would work on learning how to get physically closer to your subject.
PS. A good used Nikon 200-500 should not cost too much more than a new Nikon 1.4 and will deliver much better sharpness.

I agree Bill. I use my 200-500 coupled with Nikon D4 and managed to get very nice quality.
good advice for the poster.

We have no disagreement here -- before buying any TC, one should research to make sure it will work with the lens-body combination you'll be using.

I have a Bower Canon 2X Teleconverter. It was an impulse buy and I use it sometimes. Fortunately, I have a 70-300mm and really don’t need the extra weight of a 600mm lens.

Kind of a bad idea on a f5.6 lens and a DSLR. If you have any f4 or larger aperture lens or a mirror less camera then yes it is a fair idea.
