I've always assumed that the "L" stood for "long" TC and the "S" for "short" TC, rather than referring to the focal lengths of the lenses to be attached. (However, I honestly don't know what Pentax's intent was...) >>The "snout" to which you refer- is that cause for incompatibility >>with certain lenses of a more conventional focal length, like a 80-200? >> > Yes, you have to be very carefull when trying it on a new lens, measure > first, then measure again! Very good point. One really doesn't want to find out "the hard way" (by "snout to rear element contact" that an "L" TC isn't compatible with a particular lens - <g>. (I did provide measurements and measuring hints in another post in this thread.) Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
