Teleconverter


A secondary lens that is attached to a primary lens and the camera body in order to extend the original lens's ability to focus at a wider range of distances. When attached to a lens with a focal length of 200 millimeters, for instance, a 1.4 teleconverter will increase the focal length to 280 millimeters but will result in a one-stop reduction in the maximum aperture size.
