Yikes, isn't adding an additional 7 elements going to seriously affect contrast? Steve Larson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, Pentax never made any TC`s in screwmount. The ones to look for are the 7 element TC`s, they are a little taller than the run of the mill 4 element TC`s. I have a Soligor 7 element that is pretty good, but I`ve heard Vivitar made a 7 element one too. The only ones I have seen are 2X. If you ever find a 1.4 or 1.5 TC in M42, let me know.

I've never seen a SMC Takumar converter, does such a creature exist? If you can recommend one, can you please comment on it's performance? If I find a good one and use it with the SMC 200mm should I expect a big loss of contrast and sharpness as compared to just using a 300mm? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
