Conversion Lenses
Conversion lenses attach to the front of your camera lens or lenses to adapt or extend your focal range. Whether you’re using an interchangeable lens camera like a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or a camera with a permanently integrated lens, conversion lenses are an easy way to boost the versatility of your photography kit.
Add functionality and increase your available focal lengths inexpensively with the right type of conversion lens.
Types of auxiliary lenses
Conversion or auxiliary lenses are available in a few different varieties. Wide angle auxiliary lenses widen the field of view for your existing lenses. Fisheye auxiliary lenses provide a distorted, ultra-wide angle perspective. Telephoto auxiliary lenses increase the focal length by providing magnification. Macro auxiliary lenses let you bring the lens closer to your subject for better close-up photography.
Lens converter compatibility
Some lens converters are universal, so you can use it on any brand or model of lens. Others are designed for specific lenses or camera systems. These more specialized lens converters work with certain lens elements, autofocus systems, sensor sizes, and other considerations to help you get the best image possible from your setup.
Selecting by mount diameter
Most auxiliary lenses attach to the front of your lens by screwing onto the lens’s filter mount. To ensure compatibility, make sure your intended converter has the same measurement as the mount diameter of your lens. Common diameters include 58mm, 49mm, 52mm, and 72mm, though other options also exist.
Some converters, like those by Sony, use a special proprietary system designed for use with a specific common or popular lens. If you’re not sure which mount diameter you need, or if you have questions about compatibility, our experts can help you find the best auxiliary lens to work with your existing kit.
Choosing bundles, top brands, and more
Some lens converters come in kits with adapters and other helpful accessories that make using them a breeze. Adorama carries a broad selection of lens converters and auxiliary lenses from trusted brands like Sony, ViewZ, and Olympus. The right converter can help you get the greatest versatility from your current lens collection, while also maintaining maximum sharpness and image quality.
