Beautiful! I love the bokeh with this lens when shot wide open.

Is this those macro-capable tele-converters that have a helicoid built in so they can do both TC and macro work? I've seen these online made by Kino Precision and sold with Vivitar badges as well as Kiron. They seem interesting. I've thought about picking one up, de-glassing it, and using as a macro focusing helicoid.

Thank you, Todd! It feels almost painting-like.
