I remember my dad telling us kids 'DONT FEED THE SQUIRRELS'.
One day, as a grandpa, he showed up with a deep cut in the pad of his

I asked about it and my mom eventually told me.
He was feeding a squirrel on the kitchen window ledge by hand.
It was a simple swipe with a claw.
That page misses one option (one that I only became aware of recently).
Tamron also made an Adaptall2 *Extension Tube* specifically for the SP

The obvious benefit to the tube is that you don't lose the two stops
of light that you would with the 01F teleconverter.
I remember my first monitor was a packard bell 14 CRT for $350 that did
600x800. And that was cheap at the time. It died in a few years.
