I did once put my Petnax K 2x convertor on my 100/4 macro. Gives me 1:1 but
at f8 which is pretty dark. But with enough light and a tripod shots looked
fine. This Panagor looks fine in your pictures, so how difficult is it to
indicate where the quality difference lies? How about the Pentax set of 3
rings to get macro?
I have the rings too. But I never used them for macro, at least not yet. One of the rings serves as a necessary "buffer" for my single element lens. It gives the lens almost full focus throw then.
Anyway, I am not sure what would be the quality of ring macro shots versus those made with MC. I suppose MC was made specifically for 50 mm lens in mind. So perhaps it is not too bad anyway.
Perhaps I need to try my macro rings.
One thin is however certain, rings are way less convenient to deal with. Especially on the field, where in order to change macro factor you would have to dismount and mount your combo which may lead to some dust entering the camera. MC is way more convenient.
Just my cents...
