You have to remember that the reason the 180 Apo telyt was as good as the 350 mm lens straight is it is exceptionally better than even most Leica lenses. Converter's always extract a penalty. A 2X sucks up to stops of light. And that means shooting the lens wide open. It better be good. Keeping the shutter speed up is also important to overall performance, so a lot of factors have to be considered in the production of good images besides raw performance of a lens. >Any comments, by the way, on the 135mm R series? Very nice, even wide open. Slight improvement to best performance at 4.0. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
