Mike, I thought you had a Tamron TC which works wonderfully well with SDM. . Have you been using it or you have gotten rid of it?

Amin
Still got it and yes it works well but the extra length is always appreciated. (no mucky comments needed :shock

Also would quite like to see how it work on my favourite 70-210mm f3.5 adaptall 2 lens

I have the Vivitar 100mm f2.8 1:1 macro "A" made by Kiron (this was the Series 1 f2.5 before they repackaged it)and it is a superb lens, one of the best macros ever made.

Made completely of metal, built like a tank .. downside is it weighs about the same and the focus takes forever to get from one end to the other.

If you can ge it below £100 snap his hand off.

I am planning to give it a go on my DA*300
I don't think that particular TC is SDM compatible.
I may be wrong though.

I know they have been doing this for some months now but as I have not listed anything for ages I have never come across it.

Are they high value items?

Many thanks, Stefan. I can probably live with the shortcomings for the £99 price-tag.
I have a mint boxed DA version I was going to put on the forum for sale next week when I return from Spain if you would rather have one of those.
Will be cheaper than what you paid for the plastic mounted one as well.

The plastice mount will wear out over a coulpe of years.
That's a bit of a bold statement considering the plastic mount hasn't been out that long.
