Why would you want to do such a thing :

Converters are generally used to try and get extreme length, without buying extreme telephotos.

The DA35 macro is a great little lens and I use it a lot in macro mode when my 105 macro is simply too long.

There is no point in buying the 35 if you don't think that you will use the macro facility.

Thank you Mike - that sums up my thoughts.

We read what the judge has said (when the competition is set), take a view on what he/she means, possibly ask for clarification early on (if required) and then take a view as to whether to stick literally to what the judge has indicated or to try and push the boundaries.

We then enjoy looking at the other entries as they come, sometimes realise that others have had a much better idea but wait for judgement day.

If we have opted to push the boundaries, we may get lucky and the judge accepts the interpretation or we may be told that our entry does not meet the judge's criteria and we move on to the next challenge.

JR - where are you :

I shall bow out at this point and leave it to JR to respond to this one

That turned out to be a wise decision

Very confusing this competition - the images keep changing order

Stefan has added a clarification (not sure when this was added).

Have you read what the judge has actually written :

Welcome and enjoy your new hobby

Unfortunately there is no cure for LBA (lens buying addiction)
