which 2x converter?

[Tazkb]

i was thinking of getting a 2x converter, looking on ebay the Sony one is £200 + s/h

but the 2x minolta or the sigma or kenco are all under £100? so is the Sony one so much better

or are the other ones fine? thank you

2X Minolta ( 3 models: 2X APO TELECONVERTER, 2X APO TELECONVERTER II, 2X APO TELECONVERTER (D) ) and Kenco were for A-Mount bodies and lenses.

Sony makes both A-Mount and E-Mount converters

 

Which body and which lens(es) do you intend to use ?

 

The Minolta's and the Sony for A-mount will not work on E-Mount bodies.

Kenco or Tamron for A-Mount since the Minolta/Sony TC'S are dedicated only to their APO lenses like 200mm F2.8, 300mm F2.8 and F4 400mm F4.5 and 600mm F4 plus the 70-200mm F2.8 SSM Zoom and this last one only with Minolta (D) or Sony TC's
