Native Sony E Mount: Slots directly into the Sony E mount system with no adapters required, ensuring seamless compatibility with Sony FE camera bodies.
Full-Frame Coverage: Engineered to cover the full-frame image circle, making it compatible with Sony's FE lens lineup without vignetting.
Lightweight at 167g: At just 167g, it adds minimal weight and bulk to a telephoto kit, useful when managing a long-lens setup for travel or wildlife shooting.
One-Stop Aperture Reduction: Applying the 1.4x multiplier reduces the maximum aperture by one stop, which is worth factoring in when shooting in lower light conditions.

Description — Sony SEL14TC
The Sony FE 1.4x Teleconverter is built for Sony E mount mirrorless cameras and is designed to extend the reach of compatible full-frame Sony FE telephoto lenses. Tipping the scales at just 167g, it is a lightweight tool for photographers who want more focal length coverage without adding significant weight to their kit. Autofocus is fully supported — the specifications confirm Auto focus type with autoFocus enabled — allowing shooters to maintain fast AF operation when the teleconverter is attached.
The native Sony E mount interface ensures seamless electronic communication between the teleconverter, lens, and camera body. Classified under a telephoto focal length range, this teleconverter is aimed at applications where maximizing reach is a priority. There is no image stabilization built into the unit itself, so any stabilization relied upon will come from the attached lens or the camera body.
