Ok ,Ricoh pin removed and a nightmare had reassembling.I put the TC on an A lens and then attached to camera body.The camera does not recognise aperture value,it acts like an M lens.Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks, mm

Thanks for that,I have never seen a TC with floppy actuator and assumed it was a fault.I will give it a go.Many thanks.

I have a Vivitar PKA/R Teleconverter.I know I need to remove the Ricoh pin and have done so before on a Viv 28mm so that is fine.The problem is that the diaphram actuator or whatever the tech term is,is not sprung it just flops about.If I attach a A lens then all seems well as the spring in the lens seems to do the work.Is it safe to operate with this converter in such a way,and is it likely that I will have serious issues arising from the lack of return spring.I am reluctant to suck it and see incase the converter damages my GX20.Oh and is it home fixable?I do have two hammers.

Many thanks, mm

Are these worth money?I only ask as I have one.Keeping mine though.

pgweber,that is indeed exactly as it was sent to me.I was not overly impressed.

I emailed them yesterday asking when I might expect delivery.The reply was,

Thank you for your email.

That was copied and pasted just leaving out both of our names.
To be honest I was hoping for the Tamron offered in it's place,for the macroish capability.Oh well,nothing ventured and all that

Do i bin them all,or are any worth using?How important is date on film?Five years is quite a long time,is it worth the developing costs to find out?

Thanks for that hefty1.I am certainly not going to worry about cost on this one off endeavour.I am actually rather looking forward to spending this money.I feel a little like a child at christmas.

Thanks again
