Konica - Minolta APO (D) Teleconverters

Tele converters fit between the camera body and lens to provide a cost-effective method to increase the photographic "reach" of telephoto lenses. Available 1.4x,and 2x factors, the benefit can be determined by multiplying the original focal length by the factor. The maximum aperture of the lens is also multiplied by this factor. For example: a 200mm f/2.8 with 1.4x converter provides a 280mm f/4; a 2x produces a 400mm f/5.6.

This Latest Version Converter is a D-Series lens which includes new distance-encoding device to enable improved calculation for flash exposure with Maxxum 5, 7 and newer cameras when used with 3600HSD and 5600HS D flashes

This Converter is compatible with the following Minolta Lenses only
