I suspect that I'll be using the Tamron only when I absolutely need the
reach. The lens is a bear, and with the converter attached I find it becomes
downright unwieldy. I wouldn't even think about using the combination
without a tripod, which would be a difficult set up in the middle of a
canoe. So, I figured the small 135 would be great for grab shots while
paddling.

Agreed. I prefer slower films, but specifically I was wondering about the
Tamron with the converter. I'm not overly accustomed to using anything over
200mm ( I also have the Zuiko 180 f2.8 and 200 f4), so I was wondering if
400 speed film would give me any great benefits when using a combination
that in essence is a 400mm f5.6 lens.


Thanks,
