I've been trying to find a way to obtain a cheap Nikon portrait lens. I
had an idea - I own a Quantaray 2X converter. I would like to buy a good
Nikon 50mm f1.7 (?) lens, and use the converter to obtain a focal length
appropriate for portraiture (100mm). How would the cheapo converter
affect the speed of the nice Nikon 50mm? I'm sure it wouldn't be a 1.7
anymore, but would it be acceptable? Are there any other things anyone
can think of that may be affected? I checked the info that came with the
converter, and couldn't find anything about how many stops are lost due
to its use. Thanks for any suggestions and help with this!
