Panasonic DMW-TC20 Tele Converter 2.0x – Extends focal length by 2x for Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses

The Panasonic DMW-TC20 tele converter doubles the focal length of compatible Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses. It attaches between the camera body and lens to increase reach while maintaining electronic communication between lens and camera.

Compatibility and intended lenses

This tele converter is intended for use with Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses. For example, it is designed to work with the Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 Power O.I.S. Always check lens compatibility before use to confirm mechanical fit and full functionality.

Electronic communication and lens functions

Panasonic built the DMW-TC20 to preserve key lens-to-camera interactions. As a result, it provides full communication between the camera and lens so the following functions operate normally:

• Autofocus
• Image stabilization
• Aperture setting
• Metering

Therefore, you keep automatic exposure control and stabilization benefits while gaining twice the focal length.

Weather resistance for reliable operation

The converter is splash, dust, and freezeproof. Consequently, it supports optimal performance in less-than-ideal weather conditions. This weather sealing helps maintain reliability when shooting outdoors in challenging environments.

Quick summary of what it does

• Extends focal length by 2x for compatible Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses.
• Maintains autofocus, image stabilization, aperture control, and metering via full camera-lens communication.
• Features splash-, dust-, and freezeproof construction for improved outdoor durability.
