Does the Panasonic Leica DG 50-200mm f/2.8-4 take a teleconverter?
2 teleconverters are supported. A teleconverter multiplies the focal length and costs you light — and on a crop body the framing multiplies again.
Both converters are supported and both stay usable: 70-280mm at f/4-5.6 with the 1.4x, 100-400mm at f/5.6-8 with the 2x. On a lens this fast the 2x is the unusual case of a 2x that does not cost you autofocus.
| Teleconverter | Supported | Reach | Max aperture | On APS-C | On Micro Four Thirds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OM System M.Zuiko 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14 | No — Cross-brand; absent from OM System's M.Zuiko-only list. | — | — | — | — |
| Panasonic 1.4x Teleconverter DMW-TC14 | Yes — On Panasonic's compatible list with no restriction footnote (contrast the 100-400mm II, which carries an explicit focal-range restriction). | 70-280mm | f/4-5.6 | — | 140-560mm |
| OM System M.Zuiko 2x Teleconverter MC-20 | No — Cross-brand; absent from OM System's M.Zuiko-only list. | — | — | — | — |
| Panasonic 2x Teleconverter DMW-TC20 | Yes — On Panasonic's compatible list with no restriction footnote. Same 'absence of footnote' caveat as the TC14 row. | 100-400mm | f/5.6-8 | — | 200-800mm |

Compatibility sourced from the manufacturers' own published teleconverter compatibility statements (manufacturer teleconverter compatibility statements (Sony, Canon USA, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sigma, Panasonic, OM System) — each row carries its own source URL) and verified 2026-08-29. Reach and aperture figures are computed from the lens's own published focal length and maximum aperture — a 1.4x multiplies focal length by 1.4 and costs 1 stop; a 2x multiplies by 2 and costs 2 stops. Lenses whose compatibility we could not verify from a manufacturer statement are omitted rather than guessed. Methodology
