I've always been of the mindset to use converters from the same maker as the lens, tho I have never evaluated brand X convertors on brand Y lenses. I currently have the rear convertor A-1.4 X-S, X-1.4X-L and A2.0X-L & have used them extensively when needed without any particular issue. The A2.0

They were the A2X-S and A2X-L. They were priced the same when first introduced. The L versions were less common and sold for more used. The Ls couldn't be used with every lens that was over 300mm. For example, the rear baffle on the A400/5.6 precludes their use. Both are excellent optics. Paul

The A2X-S and A2X-L were originally the same price if I recall. I don't think the "L" is better glass, just different. It has the long snout to optimize its use with lenses that have the recessed rear element. That group includes more than just the *** lenses, and not all of the latter. Paul O
