Ok, it's just a Vivitar tele-converter in Nikon AI mount, but this is the good one with the built-in focus helical that allows macro focus. There have been a number of very positive posts on the forum about this teleconverter. I have used it with success on both Canon digital and Sony APC and full frame. Works great, Ex+ cosmetics and very clean glass. Photos supplied. $30 USD plus shipping to wherever you are. Comes with both original caps and the original leather case (case shows more than average wear and is starting to tear). Please PM if interested.
ITEM SOLD - THANK YOU!
All the best,
Paul

Hey Paul, I own a couple of these Macro-focusing Vivitar 2x's -- Canon FD and Nikon F. By the way, just for completeness of your description this TC has 7 elements, which is what all the best ones contain. I have conducted tests with this particular TC (in Nikon mount) and I can tell you that, not only is there no image degradation when using it, but it actually improves a lens's resolution by a slight, but noticeable, amount.
About its macro focusing abilities, not only will it turn a regular old normal 50 into a decent macro lens, but if you have a telephoto with a very long minimum focusing distance, adjusting the helical on this 2x is a great way to shorten that MFD.
I could actually use another one. If this one were in PK mount, I'd be sending you a PM.

Thanks cooltouch and Attilla! I agree this is a great lens. I found myself with two of these, both in Nikon AI mount, so I was hoping someone might be interested in giving it a try! It came to me in a package deal with some other items, so I don't have a lot of $$$ invested.
All the best,
Paul
