It makes a fine lens combination and I use it quite often. And for those folks who'll jump in here with "the extender will degrade the image!" "Degrade the image my butt!" Because, if you haven't used it in this manner, you do not know what you are talking about! Trust me on a side by side image "slides" you'd have to put them on a test bench to find any loss. And even then I doubt you would. You can't tell with the naked eye nor on the light table with a good loupe or screening them side by each! So Mark, go for the R6.2 and 100 macro avec 2X apo and you've got it made! :) Mind blowing images and the 200 makes a great general medium tele lens. Your welcome. :) ted Put it on and shoot the most incredible images you can imagine, done it so many times I've lost count and use the 100 as it is and put the apo 2X on and use it again and tell me you can immediately seee a difference Ted Grant This is Our Work.
