Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter TC-1411 L-mount - Camera lens

Teleconverter designed exclusively for L-Mount lenses The SIGMA Teleconverter TC-1411 is a teleconverter designed exclusively for the use with SIGMA L-Mount lenses. Mounted between a lens and a camera body, the TC-1411 magnifies the focal length of the camera by 1.4x. The superior optical performance of the SIGMA Contemporary, Art and Sports lines of lenses is the result of efforts to pursue the highest levels of image quality. The SIGMA Teleconverter TC-1411 upholds the image quality of the original lens to the utmost, while extending the focal length. In addition, the new teleconverter have a dust- and splash-proof construction comparable to that of the Sports line lenses, and can withstand harsh outdoor shooting environments when combined with a dust- and splash-proof camera body and lens. This lightweight and compact accessory is capable of single-handedly, providing an ultra telephoto angle of view for telephoto and macro lenses, while upgrading the performance of the original lenses; the SIGMA Teleconverter TC-1411 will be a new special gear for users. Remarkable optical performance enabled by the latest design to provide a high shooting ratio while upholding the high performance of the original lens.

Every single converter undergoes SIGMA's proprietary MTF measuring system A1 We used to measure lens performance with an MTF measuring system using conventional sensors. However, we've now developed our own proprietary MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of our quality control inspections. The SIGMA Teleconverter TC-1411 will be checked using this A1 before they are shipped.
