according to Nikonrumors.com the converters fit to the 70-200/2,8 and according to the roadmaps one could find there there is a 100-400 S line and a 200-600 non S-line in the queue. Will be interesting how fast (and converter suitable) these lenses will be. Probably only the 100-400 might have a constant aperture (4,5 or 5,6?)-

My Guess:
100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 (77mm filter size, same as 70-200/2.8 )
200-600mm f/5-6.3 (95mm filter, same a 200-500/5.6)

Good guess
I also expect the 200-600 to go beyond 5.6 on the long side, 6,3 or even 7.1

The Sigma and Tamron 150-600mm zooms both have 95mm filter size and are f/6.3 at 600mm, so I expect the Nikkor to be the same.

I agree with you

The silhouette suggests the 100-400 is similar in outer dimensions to the 80-400 G. I do hope so. Bear in mind the 200-500 f.6E takes 95mm filters. Here's an annotated Z Nikkor roadmap posted on dpr. It was derived from this one

The performance in the wild of the new Z Teleconverters seems to match theoretical data.

The first copies are reaching their new owners this week + the new 70-200 f2.8S, and some have promised comparative reports soon.

It immediately became one of my favorite lens for its permormance on color, boken & the abitily to restore details.
