Can a teleconverter be used with a zoom lens?

TC-14E III

The Nikon TC-20E III is Nikon’s first new teleconverter since the 1990s. The older TC-20E and TC-20E II are the same thing as each other.

What kind of lenses do Nikon cameras use?

Are Nikon teleconverters worth it?
While teleconverters give you decent image quality, they still cause the photos to lose some of it. However, they are still much better than cropping the image, and they preserve way more quality than cropping. This probably goes without saying, bit when you’re using a longer lens, there’s more camera shake.
Which Nikon teleconverter should I buy?

Can a Nikon 200 500 use a teleconverter?

Is using a teleconverter better than cropping?
Some lenses are better at taking a teleconverter; others see quality diminished to such an extent that cropping can actually be the better option. When using those lenses, I generally tend to favor using the TC instead of cropping. The image below was captured with the 300 PF and 1.4TC E III. Sharp as you’d ever want.
Can you use a teleconverter on any lens?

Can I use a Nikon teleconverter with a Tamron lens?
This teleconverter is compatible with Nikon AF-D, AF-I and AF-S lenses. However, when using AF-D lenses, the autofocus function will only work if the camera has auto-focus capability. Tamron’s 2x teleconverter is fully 100% compatible with Tamron lenses.

Can you use a teleconverter on a crop sensor?
Given roughly the same megapixel count, a teleconverter robs you of precious sharpness. Of course, this by itself is not a deal breaker when paired with some sharpening in post, but it’s one serious strike against using a 1.4x teleconverter instead of a camera with a 1.5x crop factor.
Can you use a teleconverter on a crop sensor camera?
Crop sensors add a multiplier effect to the focal length of a lens. When you need some extra reach, say about 1.5 or 1.6 times as much, cameras with crop sensors have a leg up over full frame. Of course, if you have frame camera you can always add a teleconverter to get 1.4x the reach, but at a cost.
