Article on GR IIIx with GT-2 Teleconverter Lens



This article from DC Watch is in Japanese, but it might be interest because it is the most detail I've seen on the GT-2 teleconverter lens and unclosed a number of samples.

????????????? ?33?????????????GR IIIx??????????????????? - ???? Watch

Note some of the images can be viewed at full size (the spiral staircase and leaves). If you click the image from the article and a magnifying glass appears in the top left, those are the ones you can see at full size.

I read most of the text, translated with DeepL, and the reviewer doesn't seem overly impressed. Given the GT-2's cost, size/weight, the forced crop, and some cases of "double line" bokeh, in many circumstances the photographer may simply be better off cropping a photo shot with the bare GR IIIx.

I got the impression from the reviewer that the best-case scenario for the GT-2 is portraiture (and similar photography) where a more shallow depth of field is desirable.

Are there any further examples shot with this combination?

I'm especially interested in Portraits Will it do the job?

One guy's review for the teleconverter on B&H says he taped the electronic contacts so images can't be cropped in camera, which you get 60mm focal length. I guess people do print big and they hate in-camera crop modes.
