Teleconverter and M mount lenses

Hi guys, 

 

Was wondering if anyone has tried using this admittedly rather peculiar combination:

M lens > L mount > teleconverter > SL body. 

Wondering if this was possible and what the results are like - any degradation etc.

Is there a L mount teleconverter?

Yes, sigma and Panasonic have a few out...

The Panasonic teleconverters are made for specific lenses (the 70-200 lenses). I have the Panasonic 70-300. The teleconverters are not meant to be used with this lens (or other lenses). If your can connect it technically, it's still open if the optical performance is ok.

FYI, L-mount tele-converters and lens adapters are not covered within the L-mount alliance and are not guaranteed to work across L-mount alliance cameras. Only lenses are covered.

Thanks guys, the above is very helpful. Cheers!

And which M lenses? All teleconverters are designed to be used with long  or at least telecentric lenses. On standard(ish) lenses and wideangles the results are often sub-par.
