Subject: [Leica] 2x tele converter for Leica M & SM bodies

Dale,

All tele converters work in the same way, and your observations on the
doubling of the focal length and light lost are right.  It's the only tele
converter on the market for the Leica M and SM cameras.
It would be interesting to know what the actual specs are.  Maybe someone
can share them.
As for the trade offs, it could be of  interest to some SM users who own a
universal finder.  On the other hand, it doesn't seem practical for many
reasons to combine it with a Leica M lens (coupling, frame lines,...) but
regardless - an interesting item for a colector.
In the past Cambron have sold some great items under their brand name: the
rapid winder (Tom's version?) another that comes to mind is the Cambron
ballhead (now  the Saunders Delux ballhead).

Regards,
Robert
