I am wondering what would be the best 2x Teleconverter for my Tokina 90mm f2.5 Macro to get 1:1 Macro?
Is the original one good enough? I've seen very good opinions about Zeiss Mutar 2x Extender?
What do you think?
Cheers |

I have the original 1:1 adapter (in Canon FD mount), but I didn't like using it so much. I've always used use extension tubes, or bellows or an achromat in some cases. The adapter adds some CA and you need to stop down more to get decent IQ; tubes are easier to work with for me. |

I don't have the Tamron but Vivitar 2x Macro focusing tele-converter is very good with my 100mm macro and does also work fine for focal lengths below 100mm as far as I know.
(25-50€)

Cheers, Will probably try original one but just thought again if I would ever use that long and dark macro? |

The Tokina 1:1 adapter also works with shorter focal lengths (tried it with my Canon FD 50/3.5 macro). |
