Hello everybody¡¡ I have the FA* 28-70 f/2,8 with the DA*200 lens hood, it works fine on APSC, but I need the original one, or some equivalent to use it on a film camera without vignetting at wide ends. Can somebody tell me where find something useful for my beloved lens? PLEASE HELP¡¡

Hi friends, has anybody tried the new HD 1.4 X rear converter with the old FA* 80-200? and the old F 1.4X?
This combo it is not in ricoh compatibility chart.
May be there is some problems due to powerzoom pins are the same than SDm ones.
Thanks

I have used the HD TC with FA*250-600mm, which is f5.6, and no issues... so I don't know why it wouldn't work with the FA*80-200mm. This TC is recommended for F4 lenses and above (i.e. greater apertures), but on my lens, it goes down to f8, and like I said, no issues ... just lost one stop!

Ditto here, I find on my A-400 5.6 the 1.4 works fine for focus confirmation,,, but go to the F 1.7 TC and I have to focus by eye, the focus confirmation isn't accurate. At least from using this lens, my guess is the 1.4 and an ƒ5.6 lens is the limit, though.
