Nikon Z* mirrorless

Got a couple of Long Exposure images from Palma taken over the last week, first time using the Z6iii for LE and a 10stop ND filter.

Nikon Z6iii + Nikon Z 24-120. Not 100% sure the B+W image works but thought i would include it anyway.

Anyone tried a 2x tc with the 180-600 I know it will be prohibitive on exposure but will it work

Not the 2x but the 1.4 thought the images using the DX option gave better results than the 1.4.

I’ve already got the 1.4 but thinking about the 2x .not a fan of the Dx crop though it has its uses ,and there’s no difference in reality between cropping a fx image and using dx.
But 1200mm reach with a 45mp sensor just sounds tempting the only thing bothering me is the heat haze effect at that distance

Is your 180-600 F or Z mount? I have an AFS TC-20E iii in F mount if it's any use.

180-600 is Z (equivalent F is the 200-500/5.6)

A quick wander round with the new to me Z8 & ever present Z 24-120. A bit bright for how I prefer to shoot woodland, but still nice to be out and putting the Z8 through its paces!

bit of b.i.f practice to get my eye back in after a couple of weeks break , one o.o.f out of nearly 300 so well pleased

I find the Z8 tends to overexpose a bit , at least mine does it could possibly be what your encountering
