Note that a stock APO converter, and the R version of the non-APO converter will not fit on your SL2. You may be able to retrofit the converter with a Leicaflex bayonet flange as I have done with my 14256 extension tube. There was a Leicaflex version of the non-APO 2x converter but they're scarce. Optically it's the same as the R version. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com ___________________________________________________ The ALL NEW CS2000 from CompuServe Better!
