Yes - got the pair for US$155 with hood and caps, which seemed fair.
Haven't use it yet - too busy. I was aware of the awkwardness of the
extender because it's the same concept as the matched SP 2X teleconvertor
which I already have - tricky but good quality. faster if you've got a
spare Adaptall too.
Got to give it some exercise this weekend if the fine weather holds - we're
into the early spring rains here but we tend not to complain as water
reserves are pretty low.
