It's not only the text, but the piece of material (or PS layer) holding the text has a different radius than the converter, matching up with the converter in the center, but almost bisecting the vertical lip of the top at it's end points. Definitely not a Pentax product shot, beta or whatever. Like others have said, I can wait, I can't afford, and I have the Tamron 1.4 and 2.0x converters for PZ-1p, plus the 2.0 A Pentax unit. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
