Yes, more and/or less, Andy.  The Vivitar 2X Macro-Focusing TC has
its own helicoid focusing mechanism (sort of like a built-in
variable-length extension tube), as well as some good teleconverter
optics, so (when the helicoid is racked out) it can help almost any
lens focus closer.  With most 50mm lenses, it can get to 1:1
magnification, although not quite as close with most longer lenses.
On the other hand, with the helicoid racked in, the TC functions
much like the Pentax A 2X-S.
