The Panasonic DMW-LT55 Teleconverter is an optical accessory designed to extend the focal reach of compatible cameras.
Magnification
It offers a magnification of 1.7x, meaning it can significantly extend the zoom range of the camera it's attached to.
Brightness
The lens has an f/3.7 brightness, which affects the amount of light passing through the lens and reaching the camera sensor.
Zoom Extension
When attached to a camera with a 12x zoom, the DMW-LT55 extends the zoom up to 20.4x. This makes it particularly useful for long-distance photography, such as wildlife or sports photography.
Maximum Focal Length
With this teleconverter, the maximum focal length reaches 714mm (35mm equivalent), allowing for capturing distant subjects in greater detail.
Compatibility
It is designed for use with specific Panasonic cameras, so it's important to check compatibility with your camera model.
Thread Size
It has a 55mm thread diameter, which is the size for attaching it to the camera or an adapter tube.
Comparison with Other Models
Compared to other teleconverters like the DMW-LTZ10 (1.5x), the DMW-LT55 offers greater magnification.
