pteppic Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hey folks. One of my all time favourite lenses is a 70-210 Vivitar S1, one of the early ones - a glorious piece of kit. However, I'm after a 2x TC for it, for the occassional bit of nature photography I do (210 on it's own is a little short...). What I would like to know is, is there a matched TC for this lens? Or will a generic 2x TC do just as good a job? Can people recommend a TC that isn't going to lose out *too* much on optical quality and contrast. Thanks, Kian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyowen Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Yes, Vivitar did make a matched teleconverter for the 70-210. They are marked 70-210 on the rim. I believe they were made by Kiron and are the same item as a Kiron MC 7 Teleconverter. They are a very good sharp 7 or 8 element teleconverter. Hopes this answers your question.
