Is this true of “LiveView” {using the rear LCD} as well using the OVF??


The live view is possible but extremely slow.

Does the focusing system in the Z9 work as well as the focusing system works in the D500?


Much better. And it works in much lower light and it works at any aperture.

Yes, except the best TC’s are made for mirrorless. Using a TC with the 180-600 lens on my Z9 is one thing. When I tried the 1.4 TC with the 200-500 on my D500 the results were disappointing. And what nobody has mentioned is that the Nikon TC won’t work with the Sigma lens. It would have to be a Sigma TC and it would bring the maximum aperture to f/9 which will cause focus problems with the D500.


I dont disagree. The better TCs are the optically newer ones made for the optically better mirrorless-designed lenses which have optical designs meant to work with these TCs. Combined with better-sensor mirrorless cameras, this combo results in professional quality TC images in my real-world experiences.

Cheers and best to you.

From what I hear, you must be using a SONY lens in order to use a TC on Sony cameras ( at least the A1/A9) - and (I think) the TC needs to be Sony also ? !

Better ISO and AF performance of mirror less has mitigated the light loss of TC's ..... 8-)
