There's no way Leica would do that. First of all, physically all 1.4 converters I've seen stick out in the front too much and the Apo Telty has a lens element set very far back. Maybe it could be done, but for one lens? Not likely. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Mi.caw.ber n [Wilkins Micawber, character in the novel David Copperfield (1849-50) by Charles Dickens : 1852] : one who is poor but lives in optimistic expectation of better fortune
