That's perfect Ken.  A very wise first step. Phil's comments regrding the
unforgiving nature of the sensor are spot on of course. I do suggest that
you do some critical and careful testing of your Tele Elmar too.
If you can't find a 1.4x to try out, drop me a line. For postage costs I'll
loan you mine and you can give it a good workout to see if the design suits
you at all.

Cheers
Geoff
