"A Vivitar 2x converter" and my "Vivitar Auto 2X Custom
Tele-Converter" may well be two different things...
As you may well know, there are converters, and there are converters.
Some of the 6 or 7 element, well-corrected converters are excellent.
I just don't know what it is I have, and how corrected it is. 

I also have a Rokunar 2x converter for my K-mount stuff. I don't know
about that one, either!

I've been trying to find a site that discusses converters, and so far
have been singularly unsuccessful!
