Product Details / Description:

For wildlife spotting, sports photography, or isolating distant scenic details during your trip to Japan, the Sony SEL14TC 1.4X Teleconverter offers a lightweight and cost-effective way to achieve super-telephoto reach without needing to carry a much larger, dedicated lens.

About the Product

The SEL14TC features an advanced optical construction (6 elements in 5 groups) engineered to minimize aberrations and maintain high resolution, contrast, and AF speed when paired with compatible Sony lenses. Its compact size means it easily slips into a camera bag, offering immediate versatility when you need extra reach.

Important Compatibility Note: Due to the teleconverter’s protruding front element, it is only physically compatible with a select list of Sony E-mount telephoto lenses. Incompatible lenses, such as the SEL70200G (FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS) and the LA-EA4 mount adapter, cannot be used as the rear element of the teleconverter would make contact and cause damage. Always check the official Sony compatibility list.

Key Features

Increased Reach: Provides 40% more magnification for capturing distant subjects.
Minimal Light Loss: Only reduces the maximum aperture by one stop, allowing the lens to remain highly functional.
Robust Construction: Features a dust and moisture-resistant design for reliable use outdoors.
Full Automation: Maintains communication for AF, AE (Auto Exposure), and OSS (Optical SteadyShot) with compatible lenses.

Faqs:

What happens to my aperture value when I use the 1.4X Teleconverter?

The teleconverter reduces the light intensity by one F-stop. For example, if you attach the SEL14TC to a compatible F2.8 lens, the new maximum aperture becomes F4. If you attach it to an F4 lens, the new maximum aperture becomes F5.6.

Why are some Sony lenses incompatible with the SEL14TC?

The incompatibility is due to physical clearance issues. The front element of the teleconverter protrudes into the rear mount of the lens. If a lens has a large or recessed rear element, contact can occur, causing damage to both the lens and the teleconverter.

Will autofocus and image quality be affected?

Autofocus speed and accuracy are generally maintained at a high level with compatible lenses, although there may be a slight decrease in performance in low light due to the one-stop light loss. Image quality remains excellent, as the teleconverter is designed to match the high standards of Sony’s professional lenses.

What happens if I attach an incompatible lens?

If an incompatible lens or accessory is attached, the camera body will not recognize the combination. The aperture value display will show “–“, and both AF (Autofocus) and AE (Auto Exposure) functions will not operate.

Is the SEL70200G (FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS) compatible with this teleconverter?

No, the FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS (SEL70200G) is explicitly listed as incompatible with the SEL14TC due to the risk of contact and damage to the lens’s rear elements.
