[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi LUGnuts Tried using my Leitz 2x SL/SL2 extender to turn my 90/2 into a 180/4 on the cheap. Quite frankly, the results were appalling. Soft focus and washed out colour. Nothing wrong with the 90/2, as shots taken before and afterwards with just the prime lens were tack sharp and rich in colour. I can't believe that Leitz would produce an extender this bad, so there must be something wrong with it (or with the way I'm using it). 1) Anyone else had any bad experiences with Leitz 2x extenders? 2) If it needs checking out on an optical test bench, who's the best person to send it to? John van Stelten?
