The combo works great, and all camera functions work perfectly. It's wonderful with the PF and works well on 80-400 VR.

My situation might not match yours very well, so I'll hum a few bars:
Using the Z7 camera in the field is pretty cumbersome because one has to switch between "adapted" NIKKOR lenses and native Z lenses, each with their own caps. Adding a teleconverter to the mix does increase the fidget factor, so there is a lost opportunity downside to using it in the field if one must change lenses. The Z7 has a pretty bad reputation for focusing, especially in low light or dusk landscape conditions. Every second of exposed sensor or lens cavity, not counting the push-pull lenses, is just another chance of dust on the sensor, every cap and adapter to line up is an invitation to the wrap up party instead of the main event shot. My Z7 has firmware 2.0 at this point.
Zoom-wise, and value-wise, if one simply wants to capture great pictures of birds and wildlife at the usual impossible distances, the Nikon CoolPix P1000 is a far better value than trying use this to make the 500mm longer -- it also goes macro and wide when needed. The P1000 is slower to handle but it really brings back the wildlife shots - it's so good that I had to get one because my wife practically makes a new Audubon book every time we go out -- I would carry this big rig but then have to crop my 45.6 MP image to share a photo of some bird we saw. End result was that my 50MP image would be about 6MP, but my wife's image would be her camera's 16MP. "Oh look here, it's the Imputu bird's tiny butt that was on the branch across the Columbia River", look at the stripes on it, it's the variegated one..." yeah, yeah... But she is a better photographer than me anyway. The 200-500mm with 1.4x is pretty close to $2,000, but a 16MP P1000 is around $1,100 (include tax, shipping, etc.).
Happily, this adapter performs just great with my 70-200mm F2.8 as well as my cheap NIKKOR 200-500 5.6 in all but the worst light. As one might expect, focus on the 70-200mm F2.8 is fast and certain with or without the teleconverter. I prefer to use the single point, single shot AF on the 200-500 for general shots using the 200-500 and this 1.4 teleconverter. The 200-500 and Z7 combination is quirky with or without the teleconverter in tracking situations, sometimes not as good with the teleconverter, most of the time good, especially in good light. The 70-200mm remains its usual obedient self with area focus on moving targets.
Unlike the 200-500 and the Z7, this TC-14E III converter and the 70-200mm F2.8 III were made in Japan. The 200-500, which was made in China, is a fantastic value in lenses, very sharp.
This adapter, as expensive as it is, and as cumbersome as it is having more awkward gizmos for the kludgey and confused but extraordinarily capable Z7 camera is a keeper in my kit as long as I have to use adapted lenses, and a mainstay if I end up picking up a D850. It is a very high quality unit, one that adds a bit more reach at modest cost.
I would like to rate this converter four stars for value, but due to its excellent optical performance, it gets a five star. It's really good.
You not only loose 2 stops of light( my5.6 was now 8.0) but you also loose certain focus points. You’ll no longer be able to use 3d/3d tracking…and then using your custom focus point they will show there when focusing but will not be active..
So if you looking for a little extra reach with lots of light of a still subject then you might be happy..
1 other thing, I honestly didn’t see to much of a loss with picture quality..
So, the Nikon came in, and had stellar performance on both my D750 and D7100. I was very pleased, indeed. :)
Then I bought this teleconverter, mounted it, and did some tests.
The first thing I realized was that I needed to do some auto-focus fine tuning - introducing the TC-14E had made that apparent, even with an F/5.6 aperture. Once I did that, my focus tests were spot on, and I could do some quality tests.
Simply put - I cannot find the SLIGHTEST meaningful difference in quality and clarity - even pixel-peeping - between the 300 with and without the TC-14E. Nor did the TC-14E introduce any observable chromatic aberrations as well!
In other words - I got the reach (now 420mm on my D750 and 630mm on my D7100) by adding a small amount of weight and raising the wide-open F-stop from F/4 to F/5.6.
Stupendous - this lens and TC combination is PERFECT.
I can't speak for other Nikon lenses using the TC-14E, but I can tell you that the 300 and the 1.4 are so good together, I just don't ever take it off. :)
So if you're on the fence for this, and you're running a Nikon 300mm Fresnel, don't hesitate - the results (once you've tuned the combo) are 100% worth it!

The AF speed is unaffected and it even works flawlessly with the Z mount converter on the Mirrorless range too
