Just announced: New Viltrox 2x E-mount teleconverter that fully supports 120fps

November 24, 2025

Viltrox announced the new 2x E-mount teleconverter. It costs 1129 Yuan (around $160). There are no preorders available yet.

Viltrox 2x TC E-mount specs:

9 elements in 5 groups
229 grams
electronic contacts
EXIF data transmission
lens-based image stabilization
120fps continuous shooting
dust and splash resistant

I’m genuinely impressed that they claim it supports the Sony A9 II’s full 120 fps burst rate. As you know, third-party E-mount lenses are normally limited to 15 fps. This is technically a teleconverter and not a lens, but still—I didn’t think they were able to bypass that limitation!

All Viltrox lenses are now 20% off
In USA at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama and on the Viltrox Store!
In EU at Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt, Calumet, WexUK.
