Product Information

Full details

The OM SYSTEM TCON-T01 Teleconverter is an essential accessory for owners of the TG series cameras who want to extend their optical reach for wildlife, sports, and landscape photography. It provides a 1.7x magnification to your focal length, moving from 100mm to 170mm without degrading aperture performance or image quality, though it does require the separate CLA-T01 adapter for mounting.

FAQs

Does this lens provide digital zoom?

No, this is an optical teleconverter that physically extends the focal length, providing better image quality than digital zoom.

Can I use this lens underwater?

Yes, it is fully waterproof and rated for use at depths up to 15m when used with compatible TG cameras.

Is the CLA-T01 adapter included?

No, the CLA-T01 adapter is a required accessory that must be purchased separately to mount the TCON-T01.

Will this lens affect my aperture?

The TCON-T01 is designed to maintain the camera's aperture performance, preventing the light loss common with other teleconverters.

What is the weight of the TCON-T01?

The lens weighs approximately 94g.

Troubleshooting

Lens will not attach to the camera

Verify that you are using the CLA-T01 adapter; the lens cannot mount directly to the camera body.

Image appears soft or blurry

Clean both the front and rear lens elements with a microfiber cloth and ensure the lens is screwed tightly into the adapter.

Vignetting in corners of the frame

Ensure the camera is zoomed in sufficiently; at wide angles, the lens attachment may cause minor edge obstruction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends focal range without losing aperture speed
  • Waterproof design matches the durability of the TG series cameras
  • Lightweight and compact for easy transport
  • Provides authentic optical zoom instead of grainy digital zoom

Cons

  • Requires the separate purchase of the CLA-T01 adapter to mount
  • Cannot be used without the specific adapter
  • Dedicated only to TG series compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To attach the TCON-T01, you must first secure the `CLA-T01` adapter to the front of your compatible TG camera. Once the adapter is mounted, simply screw the TCON-T01 lens clockwise into the adapter threads until it is firm. Ensure all threads are clean of debris before mounting to avoid cross-threading.

For care, rinse the lens with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent mineral deposits on the glass. Store the lens in a cool, dry place and use a microfiber cloth to keep the optical elements free of fingerprints or dust. Always ensure the lens is securely tightened before entering the water.
