Soligor C/d7 Auto Tele-converter 2x Y/C

The Soligor C/d7 Auto Tele-converter 2x Y/C is a versatile accessory designed for interchangeable lens cameras. It doubles the focal length of any lens it’s attached to, effectively transforming a 50mm lens into a 100mm lens, for example. This tele-converter is particularly useful for photographers who want to get closer to their subjects without switching lenses.

Key Features:

• 2x Magnification Factor: Doubles the focal length of the attached lens.
• Automatic Adjustment: Automatically adjusts to the lens’s settings.
• Y/C Coverage: Ensures good image coverage, although it may cause slight vignetting at the edges of the frame, especially with wide-angle lenses.

How It Works:

The tele-converter is placed between the camera and the lens. It contains optical elements that increase the focal length and project the image onto the camera’s sensor. The automatic feature of the tele-converter adjusts apertures and other settings to achieve correct exposure.

Advantages:

• Increased Reach: Allows you to get closer to your subject without changing lenses.
• Compact and Lightweight: Easy to carry around.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to purchasing a new telephoto lens, a tele-converter offers a more affordable solution.

Disadvantages:

• Loss of Light: Doubling the focal length reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor, requiring you to increase ISO or use longer shutter speeds.
• Reduced Image Quality: May cause slight loss of sharpness and contrast, especially at the edges of the frame.
• Compatibility: Not all tele-converters are compatible with all lenses. It’s important to verify the compatibility of the Soligor C/d7 Auto Tele-converter 2x Y/C with your camera and lens before purchasing.
