The L is better for lenses with the recessed rear element. But the S is also a very good optic and is the only conveyer that will work with lenses that don't have a deeply recessed rear element. I believe the A 300-4 requires the S version, as does the A400-5.6. Paul On Oct 28, 2012, at 11:04

A2X-S or A1.4X-S. The L has a long front snout, and it won't work with the 300/4. Paul On Oct 28, 2012, at 8:22 AM, "J.C. O'Connell" wrote: > I want to get a good 2x TC for my pentax a* 300/4 lens. > Anybody know which model is the best (2x-L?) or maybe > a non pentax model? thanks in advance...

Well, I figured this was a good chance to try the newly added focus peaking on the Q with an old MF lens. The K 28 is now a fair telephoto (154 eq.). Also, the old lenses make the Q REALLY front heavy. On Sat, Oct 27, 2012 at 4:17 PM, Brian Walters wrote: > Seven submissions so far. > > Time to

I had a FA* 300 f/2.8 which had a "recessed" rear lens and, therefore, would accommodate the 1.4L T/C. I understood that the "L" was the better of the T/C's. (?)   Jack - Original Message - From: J.C. O'Connell To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' Cc: Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2012 5:22 A
