Just for fun, I stuck the only teleconverter I had easily at
hand, which is a Takumar 2x onto the LX and put the A 24mm f/2.8
on. I could see no signs of vignetting, which is what I was
expecting to see.
I then tried the same thing with the A 20mm f/2.8 and also saw
no signs of vignetting in the finder. I opened the back and
tripped the shutter on B, and was able to see a full image
circle from the corners of the film plane.
Focussing is fine, and metering is fine.
I had always thought that there would be serious vignetting with
a wide angle and a teleconverter. I am not saying there won't be
with some combination, but with the two lenses I tried and the
teleconverter I tried, it appears to be a viable combination.
