What are teleconverters?

Teleconverters, also known as camera extenders or camera multipliers, fulfill the vital role of providing extra zoom to your device. Their magnification typically ranged from 1.5 to 2 times. This helps you get the shots you require by providing several key benefits.

Shot quality

Camera teleconverter lenses provide extra magnification when it matters at only a small sacrifice to quality. This means that instead of a subject being photographed as part of the overall background, you can have the subject of your photograph front and centre filling the entirety of the shot.

The downside is that less light will get into the camera , which can affect the speed of your shots. It helps to match the speed decrease with the magnification desired to choose the best match for you.

Lightweight

Camera teleconverters are lighter than a longer camera lens , which contain a lot more parts. A shorter lens with a camera teleconverter attached saves a lot of weight for someone looking to stay mobile. As a downside, lightweight parts sticking out from the camera effect the camera stability. Any small movements will affect the shot a lot more due to the extra length.

Price

Teleconverters, though not as fully effective as a longer lens, are a lot cheaper most of the time due to a lack of complex internal parts to match that of a lens. Many photographers start by merely altering the images taken without a teleconverter via zooming and cropping in an image processor. More dedicated amateurs and professionals graduate to teleconverters before long due to their many positive qualities compared to their few drawbacks.
