In a recent patent spotted by Rumor Mill, the Viltrox is working on a 2x teleconverter for the Nikon Z Mount camera. It is very clearly visible from their patent images the lens mount has been designed for the Z Mount. Although the E-mount does not allow third-party teleconverters, the fact that Viltrox is preparing a Z-mount teleconverter suggests that Nikon may be considering allowing third-party teleconverters.
The pins’ location and numbers exactly match with Z Mount. For the first time that a third-party manufacturer is also free to create teleconverters, which was not possible earlier. So it will help the photographers to buy it at an affordable cost. This step may also indicate one thing very clearly, that Viltrox is also planning to bring Telephoto lenses Z mount soon.
