Konica Minolta 1.4x APO Tele Converter 35mm Converters

Konica Minolta 1.4x APO Tele Converter 35mm Converters 

DESCRIPTION

The converters were redesigned with new gear and IC ROM’s. External changes include TYPE II designation. It is OK to use old-style converters on new lenses. Using a new converter on an old, non-upgraded lens will cause slower focusing THE APO CONVERTERS CANNOT BE USED WITH THE 80-200MM APO LENSES.

Strength:

Construction, optics.

Weakness:

Focus speed reduction noticable

The 1.4x tele-converter is a top-notch accesory for your Minolta prime APO lenses. There is no visible reduction in sharpness when used. Color balance is the same as without. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to extend their prime lens without much of a sacrifice. Focus speed reduction noticed but minimal.

Strength:

essentially maintains the optical resolution, contras, and color balance of the prime lens

Weakness:

none

I''ve used this converter with the 300 f2.8 and 400 f4.5 APO lenses with excellent results. As expected there is a slight reduction of focusing speed and the loss of one f stop. I unhesitatingly recommend this converter to anyone wanting to extend the focal lenght of their prime APO Minolta lenses.
