Thinking of getting a teleconverter(s) for my D850. Questions for those that have used them. What do you recommend 1.4X, 2X, both? Nikon Brand or is there another option? How is the IQ using them? I have the 24mm, 50mm and the 85mm primes. Seems I could save in both money and weight getting them

None of these lenses can be used with the Nikon teleconverters as the rear element sits flush with the lens mount. The front element of the converters protrude in front of the mount.

Kenko converters can be mounted, but they steal quite a bit of image quality.

 

Here is a compatibility chart for the Nikon converters.
