Century Optics 1.6x Tele Converter Lens For Canon XL2 with 16X Manual Lens & for JVC GY-DV5000U with Canon YH16x7 -- Mounts to front of lens via bayonet, in place of factory shade

Before you settle for less, consider the 1.6x Tele Converter Lens, a powerful addition to your Canon XL2 with 16X Manual Lens or JVC GY-DV5000U with Canon YH16x7. This lens converter is designed to mount to the front of your lens via a bayonet, replacing the factory shade, and shifting your focal range towards the telephoto direction.

Ideal for situations where it's impractical, hazardous, or simply impossible to get closer to your subject, this tele converter lens enhances your shooting capabilities. It modifies your zoom's focal length range from the standard 5.5-88mm to an impressive 56-140mm, all without any significant light loss.

Please note, the Tele-Converter offers partial zooming, with focal lengths of less than 55mm potentially showing vignetting. However, this lens converter shines in "run-and-gun" shooting scenarios due to its quick attachment process, which is faster than rear-mount tele-extenders and doesn't risk exposing your camera's sensitive electronics.

For photographers seeking even more telephoto range, pair the 1.6x Tele Converter with Canon's 1.6x Tele-Extender at the rear of your lens. This combination provides an unparalleled range of 17.6-225mm, without any vignetting. Enhance your photography experience with the 1.6x Tele Converter Lens, a must-have tool for capturing those distant subjects with precision and clarity.
