Hi Alin,
I just tried the Vivitar 2X Macro FocusingTeleconverter (Japan)
on an LX. At the infinity setting on the converter, the normal 2
stops of light loss expected was observed. Not that an LX meter
with full stops between meter LED's is an accurate way to
compare. I also found that the shorter length Pentax made CPC 2X
Tele-converter MC-4 (Japan) lost just a little more light
through it than the longer macro converter did.
