Hi Bill,

Yes the one I'm getting has the Leica filter. I've been looking at  
the 2X APO extender. KEH has 3 grades of the 3 cam version for sale.  
I don't see where I need the ROM version. I'm looking at the 2X for  
now because my APO 100m f2.8 Macro is compatible with it but not the  
1.4X. What I don't know is if the APO 2X is compatible with my APO  
180/3.4 Telyt.
