Advertisement Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Hi besses, Take a look here Leica 2.0x extender and Leica Vario-Elmar 100-400 f5-f6.3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rcusick Posted August 13 Share #2 Posted August 13 I have the 1.4x extender. It works ok but hit to light gathering ability definitely hurts in some situations. I don’t think f10-f12 would be acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 13 Share #3 Posted August 13 In general 2x extenders do not reach the quality of 1.4 ones and are better replaced by cropping, if needed aided by software like Topaz Gigapixel or Lightroom Enhance. The Leica APO extender 2x R being the exception. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
