Did you say hint because you're about to put them all on ebay or did you

John (JCO),
I hear you on TC's. I've never been a big fan of them, but...
It's Gymnastics season and for the last 3 meets, I've dragged the camera
along.
The gym is dark. The stands are a long way from the vault, bars, beam and
floor.
Even with the A135/1.8 and 800 Fuji film, things are tough

The only time I find myself using a teleconverter is when I need something
longer than my 300/2.8 (in other words, when there's no alternative for me!)
I think this means I'm agreeing with JCO, but I'm not sure ;)

Hi, Bob.
Does anyone know how it compares to the A 2X-S or L ? ...or the
Vivitar 2X Fred mentioned?
I've never compared the Vivitar Macro-Focusing TC with the A 2X-L,
but I have shot it side-by-side (on an A* 300/4) with the A 2X-S and
the T6-2X, and I've found the three TC's to be quite
Scott, I don't have a good 2xTC, so this is the opinion of
the poor folk. I do have a Tamron 2x (4 element) and a Tokina
2x (7 element) and the Vivitar. I'd pick the Vivitar any day
of the week. The built-in extension is useful, and it's well
made, and it gives me pleasing shots.

It's cheap ($80 on ebay) and it rocks. There's even an A version so you
won't lose program mode if that matters to you. I don't have any examples to
show you at the moment, but others on the list may have some. Note that it
will siphon away two stops of light, so that 135/3.5 is going to be
