Product Details / Description:

Renting the MC-20 is the most efficient way to turn your existing telephoto lens into a super-telephoto powerhouse for capturing subjects that are otherwise unreachable. For example, attaching it to the 40-150mm F2.8 PRO lens creates an 80-300mm F5.6 lens (160-600mm equivalent).

About the Product

The MC-20 features an optical design of 9 elements in 4 groups, including 1 HR (High Refractive Index) lens, meticulously designed to minimize aberrations and preserve the sharpness and clarity of the master lens.

When the teleconverter is attached, the maximum aperture of the combined system is reduced by two full stops (e.g., F2.8 becomes F5.6; F4.0 becomes F8.0). This aperture reduction should be considered in low-light situations, though modern Olympus and Panasonic bodies can often still autofocus with the resulting aperture.

The teleconverter is built to PRO standards, featuring a dustproof and drip-proof mechanism. This allows photographers to maintain the weather-sealed integrity of their system when shooting in challenging environments across Japan, such as rain or dusty locales.

Faqs:

What does the 2x magnification do to my M.ZUIKO 300mm F4 IS PRO lens?

When you attach the MC-20, the lens becomes a 600mm F8.0 lens, which is equivalent to a 1200mm F8.0 lens in 35mm format. This provides incredible magnification for distant subjects.

How much darker does the image become?

The image darkens by two full stops. If your lens is F2.8, the system maximum aperture becomes F5.6. If your lens is F4.0, the system maximum aperture becomes F8.0.

Will my camera still autofocus with the MC-20 attached?

Autofocus performance depends on the resulting maximum aperture and your camera body’s specifications. If the aperture is F8.0 or brighter (e.g., 300mm F4 + MC-20 = F8.0), modern Olympus and Panasonic bodies will typically maintain autofocus, though it might be slightly slower. If the resulting aperture is dimmer than F8.0, AF may be limited or require manual focus.

Can I use this with any M.ZUIKO lens?

No, the MC-20 is physically and optically designed to work only with specific telephoto lenses due to its protruding front element. It is only compatible with the lenses listed in the product details.

Is the resulting image quality acceptable with a 2x teleconverter?

Yes, the MC-20 is an advanced teleconverter designed for Olympus’s high-resolution PRO lenses. While any teleconverter will result in a marginal, theoretical decrease in quality compared to the bare lens, the MC-20 maintains very high image quality, especially in good light.
