Description — Minolta 2x APO Tele Converter-II
The Minolta AF 2x APO Tele Converter-II is a Minolta AF mount teleconverter built for full-frame DSLR systems. It supports both autofocus and manual focus operation, giving users flexibility depending on their subject and shooting conditions. Classified as a prime, telephoto optical accessory, this converter is designed to work within the Minolta AF lens ecosystem without requiring additional adapters.
At 200g, it is a relatively lightweight addition to a camera and lens combination. There is no image stabilization built into the converter itself. The mount interface is exclusively Minolta AF, so compatibility should be confirmed with both the camera body and the lens being used before purchase.
