I used the Leica 1.4 apo converter on a Tamron 300 2.8 and got better results than the lens by itself. There's a very good reason why. A converter only uses the central part of the image "cone" of a lens, which is the best part. The converter is so good that there is no degradation of the Tamron's central performance. And the 90 Summicron is no slouch, anyway. I've used one for more than a decade and loved it. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
