Overview — Sony SAL14TC
Key Features — Sony SAL14TC
1.4x Focal Length Extension: Multiplies the focal length of a compatible lens by 1.4x, increasing telephoto reach without requiring an additional lens.
Sony A-Mount Interface: Fits natively between Sony A-mount lenses and Sony Alpha DSLR bodies, ensuring full electronic communication and compatibility.
Autofocus Supported: Maintains autofocus operation with compatible lenses, so AF-driven shooting workflows are preserved after mounting the converter.
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed to cover a full-frame image circle, meaning it can be used on both full-frame and APS-C Sony A-mount bodies without vignetting.
One-Stop Light Reduction: A 1.4x teleconverter reduces the maximum aperture by one stop, which affects exposure and may impact AF performance on some lenses.
170g Lightweight Build: At 170g, the SAL14TC adds minimal weight to a telephoto setup, keeping the overall kit manageable for extended shooting.

Description — Sony SAL14TC
The Sony SAL14TC teleconverter is built around the Sony A-mount interface, integrating directly between a compatible lens and a Sony Alpha DSLR body. It provides full-frame coverage, making it suitable for use across the full range of Sony A-mount cameras without introducing vignetting. The accessory supports both autofocus and manual focus, so photographers do not need to sacrifice AF capability when adding the teleconverter to their setup.
Weighing just 170g, it is a manageable addition to a telephoto configuration. Operating in the telephoto focal length range, it is positioned as a prime-configuration accessory for photographers seeking additional reach from their existing Sony A-mount glass. Note that image stabilization is not present in the teleconverter itself, and no filter thread is available on the unit.
