Any examples using this converter? I have one of these, but have never used it. Stuck in a drawer someplace. Maybe I need to dust it off and try it out.
It like a 2x teleconverter with an adjustable extension tube. Pretty interesting design, just never tried it.

Good one almost invisible in image quality, I tried once with a Pentacon 50mm lens. Try one times with Kiron.

I dug out the vivitar "macro" teleconverter and put an old MF 50mm f1.4 nikkor lens on it. I was surprised.
Here is a reduced size crop of the image. Click on the image for the crop in full size as it came out of the camera.
Sorry for the poor subject but the spider was on the screen outside the window. This was also shot through the window glass with the onboard flash.
D200, f8, 1/60sec, manual flash at 1/4 power.
Attila, thanks for posting that. If I hadn't seen your post this converter would still be in the closet. Used it with a few other lenses too (24-40mm zoom, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm..)..
