The Tamron TC-X14 is a 1.4x teleconverter that increases the focal length of compatible lenses, giving you more reach without changing lenses.

Does the TC-X14 affect autofocus?

Yes, autofocus is maintained with compatible Tamron lenses, though speed may be slightly reduced depending on the lens and light conditions.

Does using the TC-X14 reduce light reaching the sensor?

Yes, a 1.4x teleconverter reduces the effective aperture by one stop (e.g., f/2.8 becomes f/4). Metering remains accurate.

• Do not attach more than one TELE CONVERTER (this product or other tele converters), as doing such could lead to malfunction or accident.

To ensure long-term satisfaction

• Remove dust and soiling on the lens by using a blower or soft brush. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
• When fingerprints or oil have adhered to the lens, lightly wipe with commercially available lens cleaning paper, soak a well-washed cotton cloth, or microfiber cloth (cleaning cloth for glasses, etc.) in lens cleaner, and then lightly wipe the lens surface starting from the center. Do not use a silicone cloth.
• Clean the lens barrel using a silicone cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other organic solvents.
• Mildew is a major problem for lenses. Store your lens in a clean, cool, and dry place. When you store the lens in a lens case, store it with a commercially available drying agent and replace the drying agent occasionally.
• Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts. If dust or stains cause contact problems, signals are not transmitted properly between the lens and camera, and malfunctions may occur.
• If the temperature changes suddenly, moisture may form within the camera and lens and cause malfunctions.
  To prevent this, seal your equipment in a plastic bag or similar container. After your equipment has adjusted to the ambient temperature, remove it from the bag and use it as usual.
