: which 2 lenses and a teleconverter make the best combo?
I know I would never go this route, but since you asked, my solution is:
24mm, 100mm macro, 2X-TC
This will cover 24, 48, 100 and 200mm.

With these angles you get (a) groups, (b) individuals, and (c) close-ups.
These would be my picks for general-purpose work.
Right now, the primes I use are 35mm, 50mm, 100mm. I own but rarely use a 2x. It
just sits there. I'll keep the 35mm when I can afford a 24mm. It's

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
Yeah! The Empiricist strikes again...
Any chance of you sharing some shots taken with the combo?

Are you sure about this? I doubt any 24mm + 2x combo would give a usable
image.
That's why I said I would never go this route.

I've been faced with situations where I needed a long lens and a fairly
wide lens, but didn't want to take a bag big enough for my 400. In those
cases, I pack my M200/4, an AS2X converter, and the M35/2. However, I have
never tried the 35 with the converter. But with a range of 35, 200, and
My picks would be the FA 43 f1.9 Limited and the FA 100 f2.8 macro and the F
1.7x AF-TC. (I'd never use the 43/1.9 with the teleconverter!)
A good normal lens is a must and the 100mm would serve as a short tele as well
as a macro.

Hi ... thanks for the update on the zooms - or are they variable focus
lenses? I can never remember which.
I'd be interested in other comments on comparing the K24/3.5 v K24/2.8

Dan,
I have a fairly full complement of lenses, so I'll take a stab at it.
I would pick the FA *24 f:2.0 and the FA *85 f:1.4. This basically
covers a large part of what I shoot. I find teleconverters mostly
useful on longer lenses, so don't know if I would bother here.
I would miss my FA
