Lucien I know something:
The extender for Leica M are two:
the first 1,65X price about 270+ACQ-=20
the second 2,0X price about 330 +ACQ-
They are built by Massimo Benatti (a very good camera repairman) with =
the famous optic group (Kenko 4 lenses for 2,0x) (1,65x I don't know =
optic group) in a frame studied only for 90mm/2,8 and 135mm 2,8 and 4,0. =
I say only because the optic group +ACI-enter+ACI- into the original =
lens, short and normal focals can't be used.
I have an image of extender, but I don't send to the LUG list a JPEG =
file, if anybody want to get it, please e-mail me privately, I 'll send =
you by web with pleasure.
The extenders get on a pin that allows the rangefinder to work well. You =
can to focus.
They are small and tranportable, the extender is like an Elmar 50/2,8 =
+ACI-closed+ACI-.
Lenses quality:
As you well know the extenders quality is of course not like the =
original lenses, and when the original is Leica.....but I think that the =
extender marries better with Leica than others and the result is good.
The fall light is about 1,5 f/stop for 1,65x +ADs- and 2,0 f/stop for =
2,0x, no problem with TTL of M5 and M6 but remember to correct with =
separate meter.=20
The problem is the viewfinder.
In fact:
1,65X 90mm +AD0- 148,5mm
1,65X 135mm +AD0- 222,75 mm
2,0X 90mm +AD0- 180mm
2,0X 135mm +AD0- 270mm
If the 135frame can help you with the (1,65X 90mm) , after this =
combination you need a separate viewfinder. God bless you+ACE-
I know that Massimo Benatti is going to study a separate viewfinder for =
both extenders.
I think that the Extender is suitable for special moments and for =
emergency situation when is impossible to approach the subject.=20
