Know before you buy
No, this teleconverter is only compatible with specific Sony lenses. You should check the official Sony compatibility list to ensure your specific lens model is supported before purchasing.
Using a 2.0x teleconverter will reduce your lens's maximum aperture by two stops. For example, an f/2.8 lens will effectively become an f/5.6 lens when the converter is attached.
Sony designed this teleconverter to maintain high-speed autofocus and optical performance. While there may be a slight reduction in light intake, the impact on image sharpness and focus tracking is minimal when used with compatible lenses.
This teleconverter is specifically engineered for Sony lenses and is not designed to work with third-party glass. Attempting to mount it to incompatible lenses may result in physical damage or a complete loss of electronic communication.
The white finish is primarily for aesthetic consistency with Sony’s high-end telephoto lenses. It also helps reflect sunlight, which can assist in keeping the lens cooler during long outdoor shoots in direct sun.
