The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter (SEL20TC) doubles the focal length of compatible Sony E-mount telephoto lenses while maintaining full communication between lens and camera body. This compact accessory transforms a 70-200mm lens into a 140-400mm setup or extends a 200-600mm to an effective 400-1200mm reach, making it a practical option for wildlife, sports, and action photography where getting physically closer to your subject isn't possible.
The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter renders the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens as a 140-400mm f/5.6 lens. The dedicated design maintains full communication between the lens and E-mount mirrorless cameras, including auto-exposure metering, autofocus, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Additionally, this teleconverter also features a dust- and moisture-resistant construction, matching the lens, to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions.
The SEL20TC uses an 8-element, 5-group optical design that includes an aspherical element for controlled aberration and sharp edge-to-edge performance. Despite doubling focal length, the teleconverter preserves the resolution and contrast expected from Sony's G Master and G series telephoto lenses.
Light loss with the 2.0x teleconverter is approximately 2 stops. A lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 becomes an effective f/5.6 at the same focal point, which remains fast enough for reliable autofocus and handheld shooting in good lighting conditions.
The SEL20TC is designed for select Sony telephoto lenses. It is compatible with the following:
The teleconverter is not compatible with the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS (original version) or third-party lenses.
Wildlife and bird photographers use the 2.0x teleconverter to extend their reach without carrying additional super-telephoto glass. Pairing it with the 200-600mm G OSS creates an effective 400-1200mm range, which covers everything from perched songbirds to distant elk. Sports photographers working from fixed positions (press boxes, sidelines, stands) benefit from the added reach when 200mm or 400mm isn't enough to fill the frame.
Travel photographers who want telephoto capability without the weight of dedicated super-telephoto lenses find the compact design practical. The teleconverter fits easily in a jacket pocket or small compartment in a camera bag.
The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter results in approximately 2 stops of light loss. A lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 becomes f/5.6, and an f/4 lens becomes f/8 at the widest setting.
Autofocus remains functional but may slow slightly, especially in low light or at the telephoto end of zoom lenses. Results depend on the specific lens used and available light.
Yes. The teleconverter works with any Sony E-mount camera body (full-frame or APS-C) when paired with a compatible lens. On APS-C bodies, the 1.5x crop factor compounds with the 2.0x magnification for an effective 3.0x increase in field of view.
The teleconverter features dust and moisture-resistant construction, matching the build quality of the G Master and G series lenses it supports. It is not rated for full submersion but performs reliably in light rain and dusty conditions.
The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter offers a compact, reliable way to extend the reach of your existing Sony telephoto lenses without investing in additional super-telephoto glass. Samy's Camera provides fast shipping, expert support, and a full range of Sony camera accessories to complete your kit.
