john_mitchell3 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Jerome: The Teleconverter 1.4XE is for use for 100-500mm lenses only. The instruction manual states that it is optimized for those focal lengths and warns against using it with shorter focal lengths, or damage may occur, so I do not believe it is an answer for your 80mm lens.

jerome_fournier Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 Using 2XE part will do fine increassing two stops,but with colimators and McBeth charts test is there any color aberration ,vigneting,sensivity accuracy loss,drop out resolving power? Any way this is quite a handy tool in your bag realy,especially in mountains!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick roadnight cotswolds Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 If you are trying to save money, I think you might be better off considering a used tele lens. I think all tele converters work better on tele lenses: I bought a 2nd hand 250, and a 2x convertor is chaeper than a 500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo_cavanha Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Dick, could you tell me your experience with 250/2x? I have just bought a 250 CF thinking about buying a 2x later on. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
