Pre-Owned - Kalimar 2x Tele Converter for Minolta MD Mount Lenses

The Kalimar 2x Teleconverter M/MD is a vintage optical accessory for Minolta MD/MC mount cameras/lenses, doubling the attached lens's focal length (e.g., 50mm becomes 100mm) while reducing the max aperture by two stops (e.g., f/2.8 becomes f/5.6) and requiring manual focus, offering extended reach at the cost of some image quality and light.

Key Features & Functionality:

Compatibility: Designed for Minolta MD and MC mount manual focus lenses.

Magnification: Provides 2x magnification, doubling the focal length.

Aperture Loss: Lowers the lens's maximum aperture by two stops.

Manual Focus: It's a manual focus device; autofocus capabilities are lost.

Image Quality: Expect some softness or loss of contrast, typical of teleconverters, depending on the lens quality.
