Just got a Sony 1.4 TC to put on my Sony 200-600mm, not had a chance to test it yet as its been raining all week and today when its sunny I'm stuck indoors. I read good things about it and hoping its not like Nikon ones where some work and some won't micro af in.

Works perfectly on my 200-600mm.

It seems to work well but not tried it on anything serious as it was raining since I got it and now I'm stuck in with a chest infection.

Sorry about that Iain.

It’s my observation that the key to getting TCs to perform optimally is very much down to best lighting. The loss of a stop is significant when the lighting is less than ideal. In retrospect I suspect all TCs are the same in this limitation, but with the Sony, despite the IQ being little affected with the TC, I’ve been aware that the tc/600mm combo quality is more reliant on lighting.

I would agree with that Eric. I got out yesterday but the light here was patchy. The ones I got in good light were fine with a little sharpening.

x1.4 works very well for me and the loss of a stop is not serious. Yes weather has kept my camera mostly out of use & since Christmas with a dose of Covid!

I have a KENKO 1.4 ,using on some shorter focal lengths incl. 24-70..35-70...70-200 f4.0..pcE 85 , not sure if I should look to the nikkor tc., but there is a 2nd hander for sale for reasonable money..how do you find focusing with it , is there noticable focus-lag ?

You can only fit the Nikkor TC14 E III to compatible lenses, specifically, it won't work with the 24-70, 35-70 or the PC E 85. It will work with the 70-200 f4. You can check compatibility here Nikon LCC .
