From capturing distant subjects to enhancing your camera's telephoto capabilities, the 1.6X HD Tele-Converter with a 72mm thread is a versatile addition to your photography gear. This front-mounted accessory extends the reach of your zoom lens without any loss of exposure, offering a 1.6x magnification to instantly shift your camera's focal length range in the telephoto direction.
Ideal for situations where it's impractical, hazardous, or simply impossible to get closer to your subject, this Tele-Converter provides a practical solution for photographers seeking greater telephoto reach. However, it's important to note that this device offers partial zooming capabilities. Vignetting, or a reduction in image brightness at the periphery, may start to occur at approximately 20% after you begin to zoom towards the wide-angle direction. This effect may increase through the zoom back, producing a 'port hole' effect at the full wide-angle position.
To ensure the longevity of your Tele-Converter, the front of the unit features 102mm threads for direct attachment of a Schneider 102mm Clear Filter or 102mm Linear True-Pol. This feature not only protects the front glass but also enhances the performance of your photography equipment. With the 1.6X HD Tele-Converter, 72mm thread, you can explore new dimensions in your photography and capture stunning images with ease.
