Description
Article no.: 29387
This product is listed as a Panasonic 2x teleconverter for L-mount in the title. The description for the DMW-STC20 states that it increases a lens’s focal length by 1.4x and reduces the lens maximum aperture by 2 stops (for example, f/4 becomes f/8). The converter mounts between the lens and the camera and maintains electronic communication between the two.
The DMW-STC20 fits Panasonic cameras and lenses that use the L-mount, commonly referred to as the S-system. Once mounted, it increases the effective focal length of a compatible lens—turning a 70–200mm lens into a 140–400mm equivalent as stated in the description. At the same time, it decreases the lens’s maximum aperture by two stops.
The converter can be used with the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. (S-R70200). However, the lens must first be updated to the latest firmware version before use, according to the original description.
