Teleconverter HD DGX 1.4x

Kenko TELEPLUS HD 1.4x DGX is a high precision manufactured optical device to be installed between the camera body and the master lens. Its purpose is to multiply the focal length of the lens according to its multiplication factor, changing your lens into a tele lens, with minimum loss of resolution and sharpness of the image.

For example, an 1.4x teleconverter can turn a 70-200mm lens into a 98-280mm lens.

HD is a standard series of teleconverters designed to fit high-resolution DSLR cameras and lenses, and to perform best results when used with lenses whose focal length is from 50mm or more.
