The consensus seems to be that there's no inherent design fault here, but Henning wrote: >Oh, about the converter, I forgot to mention: In all systems I have tried >so far, short teles such as the 90 Summicron are among the worst performers >with converters. Has anyone actually used a 2x with a 90/2 Summicron R as I have? It may be, as Henning says, that this particular combo doesn't work too well. This, BTW, is the original 2x converter specifically for the SL and SL2, not the later ASPH. I'll try it in combination with a 50/2 and a 180/2.8 and see whether there's any improvement. Reports later.
