Canon actually made two different adaptors. One was the 1.28x TC Adaptor, the other was the FD Macro converter, which lacked the optical element, but was solely intended for Macro use. The latter is far more common as Canon made them for a few years. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
