Can be used with other lenses as long as the front element of the extender
doesn't hit the rear eleemnt of the lens.  The 90 'cron and 100 APO are out,
longer stuff like the f/6.8 Telyts are fine.  Early versions of the 180
APO-Elmarit are no-go but these can be modified to current standards for a
price so that the 1.4 extender can be used.
