Also obvious is the saving in costs by buying a teleconverter vs a dedicated telephoto lens. If you have a mm lens but need a mm focal length, you have two options.
The other benefit is the teleconverter can be used with other lenses, whereas a telephoto lens is only good at mm. With a 2x teleconverter, the same lens becomes mm. Nikon has an extra version other than the 1. Telephoto lenses are heavy. Really heavy. Having a teleconverter in your bag, turning your telephoto into a super-telephoto, weighs almost nothing. If you were to compare a mm lens to a teleconverter with a mm lens, you would have two lens systems that would be similar in focal length, but not weight.
For example, the mm weights 2. Combining the latter with the Canon EF 2. The minimum focusing distance MFD is an important part of your lens. Especially in fi4elds where you want to magnify the subjects you capture. The benefit of an extender or teleconverter is it allows you to keep this minimum focusing distance.
The mm lens has a minimum focusing distance of 1. The first problem with teleconverters is the change in the lens speed. By extending the length of your lens, less light reaches the sensor as it needs to travel further. This means you lose your fastest apertures. When using a 1. This is fine if you are shooting landscape photography. Yet, it might be a problem for those scenes where you want to utilize a shallow depth of field. On top of this Teleconverters slow down the speed at which you are able to focus.
This varies between lenses, but expect this to be extreme in low light conditions. Some entry-level digital cameras might not even find a focus. To get around this, use manual focusing paired with live view. When you extend your focal length of a lens, any movement becomes more noticeable. Not only does your focal length magnify, but so does the movement. A teleconverter that extends your standard lens will not create a well-needed image stabilization IS system. Buying a telephoto lens will have this included as standard.
So, if you are using a mm with a teleconverter, your shutter speed still needs to match your focal length output. The extenders magnify and multiply the focal length of your lens. They also magnify and multiply any problems your lens has. To answer this question, we should see the advantages and disadvantages of using a Lens Extender.
So, let us start with the advantages of using a Teleconverter. The primary job of the Teleconverter lens is to increase the focal length. As a result of which you will be able to get more reach. So, it is cost-effective solution. As a photographer, you always want to travel as light as possible.
You will be more comfortable if you use lightweight camera gear. You can save some amount of weight if you use a teleconverter rather than going for a telephoto lens with the equivalent focal length.
For example, If you are using a mm f2. Here, you will get an effective focal length of mm at f5. The other option would be to go for a mm f4 prime lens, which would be a bulky option. Now, let us have a look at the disadvantages of using a Teleconverter.
It does have an impact on image quality since we are introducing additional glass elements in between the lens and the camera. There will be a slight reduction in the sharpness. The camera lens technology has advanced so much that the slight reduction in the sharpness is hardly noticeable in the latest versions of the Teleconverters from the manufacturers like Canon and Nikon.
Reduction in Autofocusing speed is another disadvantage of using a Teleconverter. Most of the standard ones supports autofocusing feature when attached to the camera and lens set up. But, the autofocusing speed reduces as we are introducing additional electrical contacts in between, which accounts for the delay.
It is also dependent on the lens and the camera model. It is a known fact. When you introduce a Teleconverter, you will have a reduction in Aperture by one or two stops, depending on what extender you are using. If you use a 1. For Example, if you use a 1. So, the Aperture shifts to f8. When you use a Teleconverter, then there will be a restriction in the number of autofocus points.
All Autofocus points will not work. Only certain focusing sensors are compatible with this reduction in Aperture settings. It also depends on whether you use a 1. Whatever autofocus points which work with a 1. Far from it. In fact, the list of compatible lenses is often quite short. The main camera and lens makers to list the lenses their teleconverters are compatible with our guide to the best teleconverters lists compatibility information, where available.
However, this information may be harder to check if you buy a cheap, generic third-party teleconverter online, for example. Apart from the loss in maximum aperture, the biggest drawback of teleconverters is a potential loss in image quality. Most camera and lens makers offer teleconverters for use with a small selection of their own telephoto or super-telephoto lenses.
Autofocus, image stabilisation and exposure controls will work as expected too. Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Fujifilm and other camera manufacturers make teleconverters with their cameras and lenses. Lens manufacuturers, notably Sigma, make teleconverters to work with Sigma lenses on a number of different camera body mounts. Third party teleconverters, such as those made by Kenko, are designed to offer a low-cost option.
These are available in a number of different mounts - the mount for the lens it is used with is almost always the same as the camera mount the pair are being fitted onto.
