Sony 2.0x Teleconverter Lens for hire

About this kit

The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter (SEL20TC) doubles the focal length of a compatible Sony telephoto, at the cost of two stops of light. A 300mm f/2.8 becomes a 600mm f/5.6, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 becomes a 140-400mm f/5.6. It's for wildlife, birds, aviation and distant sport, when even a long lens isn't long enough.

Autofocus, aperture control and the lens's stabilisation carry on working, but two stops is a real cost. Focus slows in poor light, and you'll want good daylight or a fast lens to start from, which is why it makes most sense on the f/2.8 lenses. Like the Sony 1.4x Teleconverter, it only fits Sony lenses with a deeply recessed rear element, so it won't go on standard zooms or most primes, and it isn't supported on third-party lenses.

On our shelf it fits the Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens and Sony 70-200mm f2.8 II, plus the Sony 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 (200-800mm f/9-11) and Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens (400-1200mm f/11-13) in bright light. Use it on the Sony A9 III, Sony A1 II or Sony A7R V, ideally on the Manfrotto XPRO 5-Section Aluminum Monopod. If you only need a little more reach, the 1.4x costs one stop instead of two.

Questions people ask

What's included with each item?
It's listed on the item page under "in the case" — batteries, cards, chargers, cages and cases where they come with the kit. If something you need is not listed, add it from Accessories or ask.
Can I extend while the kit is out?
Yes, if nobody else has it booked — message us before your return date and we update the booking and the invoice. The earlier you ask, the more likely the answer is yes.
What if something gets damaged?
Minor wear is expected and never charged. Accidental damage is covered by your hire agreement: you are responsible for the kit while it is with you, and significant damage is charged at the repair or replacement cost.
