OK, but as long as there aren't interferance problems does the
2X-A work WELL with other lenses.  I'm thinking of the 85 F2
in particular.  In other words, is there something about the optical
design of the 2X-A converter that is optimized for the 5 lenses
listed and works in a degraded manner on other lenses.
