Kipon released the world’s first M-M 2x optic extender for Leica M-mount lenses (75mm/90mm/135mm) that will double the focal length, similar to a teleconverter. The extender can also be used on different mirrorless cameras with an additional adapter. The price is $898, and orders are now open at B&H Photo.

M-M 2x – Baveyes Extender (SKU: M-M 2x)
KIPON Baveyes Extender 2x M-M is designed to double the focal length of Leica M mount lenses. The extenderer allows light to pass through up to an aperture of 1.4. During the design process, care was taken to leave the character of the lenses used largely unchanged and to ensure the greatest possible compatibility with as many lenses as possible. The 2x extender is compatible with a wide range of Leica M lenses.
The optical design consisting of 7 lenses in 4 groups uses high refractive index and low dispersion glass and has been optimized for maximum contrast transmission and minimum aberrations with state-of-the-art optical design software. Tolerance and stray light analysis by special software, avoids ghosting and reflections already at the design stage and ensures maximum imaging performance.
We also offer kits for those who will use this 2x extender with Sony E, Canon EOS R, Nikon Z, Leica L or Fuji X canmeras. Please purchase at https://www.kipon-global.com/product-page/adapter-kit-using-extender-m-m-2x-on-sony-e-canon-eos-r-nikon-z-leica-l-fuji-x-1.
