Or (answering my own Optically, a 180 2.8 with a 2x converter is a 360 5.6 lens. Thus the depth of field and all other considerations are exactly like an original 360 5.6 lens. And the minimum focusing distance is exactly the same as the 180 2.8, which could be very good at twice the magnification. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch They have what is rare in still photography - the mobility of film, motion, evanescence, fluidity...your camera has a thousand eyes which are directed by love and feeling. - -Anias Nin
