Using Teleconverters with Adapted Vintage Lenses on the Sony A6000
What's up everybody! Check out this quick video tutorial showing how to use old teleconverters with adapted vintage lenses on the Sony A6000. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an affordable, lightweight, pock size, option to double the range of your current lens without having to lug around a costly second telephoto lens…enter in teleconverters to attempt to solve all your problems. Almost all the old teleconverters that have come into my possession have come by way camera bag lots that I purchased from thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, and eBay. These teleconverters were made for many different mounts, I personally have teleconverters made for the Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, and even M42 lenses. In this quick review we’ll specifically be looking at a Vivitar 2X teleconverter that is made for the Minolta mount. Now teleconverters will get you closer to the action, but they will also cause you to loose a couple stops in light. In this video we’ll take a 360 look around the teleconverter, attach it to a lens, adapt it to the Sony A6000, and run out to take some sample shots. There are so many reason to like these old lenses and teleconverters. Not only do they make your camera look super cool, but adapting these lenses and teleconverters can be an excellent way to acquire quality glass at a bargain price:) Lens Summary: Brand: Vivitar Mount: SR/MD/MC Country Made: Japan Construction: Metal/Rubber Weight: 4.6 oz Length: ~1 inch Range: 2X Cost: ~$10 online at the time of this video. adapter link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LECYONM/ If you liked this video go ahead and hit the like button, if you want to see more like it go ahead and subscribe, and I always like hearing your comments so leave a comment down below.
