I have the 'A' version of that converter -"Rear converter A 2xS", where the S stands for "short" = lenses up to 300mm (short??)
The IQ is very good indeed so if you want to take that route, don't worry about image degradation unless you are after perfection.
I've never used it on the 100mm macro but I shall now just to see what happens .....

I also put a severely cropped image of a hyacynth flower on the gallery. The lack of 1:1 doesn't seen to be a problem there!

I find that a short extension tube does the job nicely. On the other hand, it is sharp enough as it stands to make major crops quite feasible. What it is not much good for (unlike the 50mm version) is normal, non-macro everyday shots.

Would you believe, you can't get there much before midday on a Sunday. There is an earlier train but there's no connecting service to it.
So I'm going to have to sit this one out. Sorry about that folks.

They go for around £40 on Ebay. A similar (arguably a better one) is the Pentacon f3.5 30mm?

Very eyecatching and well executed. I can look at these overflows for ages!

Battleship grey doesn't help with a grey sky and a grey day to contend with too! Just concentrating on the mechanism you nevertheless convey the sheer scale of this thing. The views showing the gears receding into the distance are very effective

I've got a Pentax SMC 'A' 35 - 70mm f3.5/4.5 in one of my bags. If you're interested in it I'll dig it out
PM me if so.
Here are a pair taken with it. one "macro" and one distant. (The first one is cropped)

Magnificent shot - I too was surprised to realise it was a set up job - you just did it so well.

Lovely result. Those long primes are really good - even better that you got it so well focussed

Those with the light trails are particularly spectacular
