Lens Overview — Minolta AF 1.4X Teleconverter II APO
Key Features — Minolta AF 1.4X Teleconverter II APO
1.4x Focal Length Extension: Multiplies the focal length of compatible lenses by 1.4x, increasing telephoto reach without replacing existing glass.
APO Optical Design: Apochromatic correction minimizes chromatic aberration across the image circle, helping maintain color fringing control in the extended image.
Autofocus Compatible: Retains autofocus functionality when paired with supported Minolta A-mount lenses, avoiding the manual-only limitation common to many teleconverters.
Minolta A-Mount Interface: Mounts directly between the camera body and lens using the Minolta A-mount, making it compatible with the full Minolta and Sony Alpha A-mount DSLR ecosystem.
Full-Frame Coverage: Optical design covers a full-frame imaging circle, making it usable on both full-frame and APS-C A-mount bodies without vignetting concerns.
1-Stop Light Reduction: A 1.4x teleconverter reduces incoming light by one stop, which buyers should factor in when shooting with lenses near their minimum aperture.
