Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter - 46389

Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter - 46389

Extending the effective focal length of select Sony E-mount telephoto lenses, the FE 2.0x Teleconverter increases the lens's magnification by 2x for a narrower field of view. The dedicated design maintains full communication between the lens and E-mount mirrorless cameras, including auto-exposure metering, autofocus, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Additionally, this teleconverter also features a dust- and moisture-resistant construction, matching the lens, to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions.

Compatible Lenses

• FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS
• FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS
• FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS
• FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS
• FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS

What our Experts Think

• Double Your Reach without a New Lens
  With a 2.0× magnification factor, this teleconverter effectively doubles the focal length of compatible lenses (e.g., 70‑200 mm becomes 140‑400 mm), giving you far more reach for distant subjects.

• Full Communication & Camera Support
  Maintains autofocus, exposure metering, and Optical SteadyShot (OSS) communication between lens and camera — so performance and control stay consistent even with added magnification.

• Compact and Rugged Design
  Small, lightweight, and built with dust‑ and moisture‑resistant construction, it pairs well with Sony’s professional telephoto lenses without significantly increasing gear bulk.

• Preserves Functionality, Costs Less Than a Lens Upgrade
  Offers a cost‑effective way to extend focal length without investing in longer lenses — a smart choice when space or budget is limited.

• Consider Image Quality Trade‑offs
  Experts note that 2× teleconverters inherently reduce maximum aperture (≈2 stops) and influence sharpness and contrast at extreme magnification, so best results come from high‑quality native lenses.

Q&A

Q: What is the Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter?
A: It’s a full-frame compatible teleconverter designed to double the focal length of select Sony E-mount lenses while maintaining image quality.

Q: Which lenses are compatible with this teleconverter?
A: Works with selected Sony FE G Master and prime lenses, effectively turning a 70–200mm lens into a 140–400mm equivalent.

Q: Does it affect autofocus and image quality?
A: It maintains fast, precise autofocus with minimal impact on sharpness and contrast when used with compatible lenses.

Q: Is it portable and easy to use?
A: Yes. It is lightweight and compact, easily attaching between the camera body and lens for quick deployment in the field.

Q: What type of photography is it best suited for?
A: Ideal for wildlife, sports, and action photography, where extended reach is needed without changing lenses.

Q: Does it support full-frame and APS-C cameras?
A: Yes. Works on both full-frame and APS-C E-mount cameras, effectively increasing the focal length accordingly.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep Lens Elements Clean: Use a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning tissue to gently wipe the front and rear elements. Avoid using rough materials to prevent scratches.

• Attach/Dismount Carefully: Always mount or remove the teleconverter in a clean, dust-free environment to avoid debris entering the lens or camera mount.

• Protect from Moisture: Avoid rain or humid conditions. Store in a dry, padded case with silica gel packs to prevent fungus or corrosion.

• Use Lens Caps: Always cover both ends with the front and rear caps when not in use to protect optical surfaces.

• Check Mount Contacts: Periodically inspect the electronic contacts for dust or debris. Wipe gently with a lint-free cloth to ensure proper communication with the camera and lens.

• Avoid Excess Force: Do not overtighten when mounting; gentle alignment is sufficient to secure the teleconverter.

• Professional Servicing: If autofocus, aperture communication, or optical alignment issues arise, have the teleconverter serviced by an authorized Sony service center.
