| A tele converter is designed to increase the focal length of
the lens. It contains glass elements and is available in magnifications upto
3x.The most popular being 1.4x or 2x. By using a 2x converter one can double
the focal length of the lens. A 50mm lens will work as 100mm lens.The
introduction of the tele converter between the lens and the camera body
almost always lead to optical quality loss. Extension tubes are hollow
tubes that fit between the camera body and the lens. They are often
available in sets, which can be used singly or together. The longer the
tube, the higher the magnification. However, the longer the tube, the
greater the distance light has to travel. This needs a compensation in
exposure |
