Has anyone used this with Sony's SAL-20TC 2x Teleconverter? Does it let in enough light?

Hi J. Vincent Legg, The SAL-20TC 2x Teleconverter will double the magnification of the Sony SAL70400G Lens. The light or exposure will still be dependent on the Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO settings of your camera. Vincent

Yes - my TV didn't have an optical out, so I ended up getting a converter; there was a tiny delay in the sound, but it was only perceptible when I had the TV audio on as well.

I have the same lens & teleconverter and it works perfectly. Good luck hope you enjoy this setup.Wayne

It's also missing analog outputs, a problem, if like me, you want to use it with an analog receiver. The lack of Filterbright may be a plus, I've seen criticism of the PN42B450, in effect Filterbright didn't do much good and reduced brightness.

Yes, plug optical out from tv to optical in on trx input side. Plug the other trx into your stereo using the output side. The range should be great using two. Only thing you won't like is having to manually turn them both on and set in paring mode transmit green flash, and receive blue flash every time you want to use them. Once paired they should work great. If you only have to do this once a day, it might be ok. If you want to do it multiple times it might be to much of a pain. Otherwise the sound quality is the best using the digital connections, coax or optical..... I just use the receive function on a single trx and I'm happy with its range and sound quality, but don't use it that often.... Good luck what ever you do...

hi,the aperture on the 70-400 is to slow. it will work withThe SAL-20TC supports the G series 70-200mm f/2.8 G telephoto zoom, the G series 300mm f/2.8 G telephoto lenses, and the unique Sony 135mm f/2.8 STF (Smooth Transition Focus) lens. Note that photographers will have to compensate for their reduced light transmission by opening their apertures two steps with the 2x converter.

I'm using it with my Nikor 1-300 and 18-200 lenses. Works like a charm. I'll likely sell my micro lense. Much better than teleconverters, as there is NO change to f stop.

This device is not sending out a signal like for the Panasonic or Samsung TVs. This is a IR signal much like a remote so it will not enhance anything. As far as comparability, I would ask Sony directly. I do not think so. This is a Gen 2 device and was rather annoying to have to buy separately.

This combination has worked fairly well on my 30D (in direct sunlight). It works quite well on my 70D (even good enough for birds in flight). Link to some images...http://www.pbase.com/jekyll_and_hyde/with_teleconverter

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway für quality reasons. It is a bad idea to use a converter for a wide-to.tele-zoom. Teleconverters are best for fast lenses (2.0...4.0) and longer focal lenghts (fixed or fast pro telezooms).

I picked up the following universal remote today because it lists TCL as a supported brand and it's been working perfectly. I have the 40inch HDTV, but I imagine it should work for this size as well:Sony RMVZ320 7-Device Universal Remote with Dual IR EmittersGood luck!

I will setting mine up with a dimmer pack for the first time in a couple days. What software are you using? Im running QLS on one system and Freestyler on another.

I set one up this way when first testing new unit. It works OK in daylight, if there are no reflections from the glass. No good at all after dark, as the ir lights from the camera are always reflected and cannot illuminate the subject.

Do a google search on the teleconverter and you may find a site that lists the lens compatible with it.

I'm going to look at getting an optical cable. thanks. I read some reviews on the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mount that say its not compatible with the optoma hd20. Those can be found at this link.

If you remember let me know if the mount works well and I might order it. I'm going to look at getting an optical cable. thanks.

To be honest with you I only use Pro lenses and with those it is compatible. I would be inclined to think the answer would be no since you lose an f stop with the teleconverter which means you will need alot of light for your lens. My guess is NO.
