Latest Review Posted	Takumar-A 2x Tele-Converter This is a difficult Takumar product. It worked very well on my Super A. It is lot more difficult to use on a DSLR. The space for focusing half of what you get without the converter so it is making focusing difficult. Manually focusing on an APS-C is IMHO more difficult than on FF. So use the converter when you want to make pictures where you set the focus to infinity. I used it with my Pentax-A 50mm F1.4 set to infinity and it delivers a good and sharp picture. I had soft pictures too, but the subject were close by and that makes it more difficult focusing. I bought it through the Dutch Pentax club a short while after I bought my A 35-105 when this Takumar version was introduced. At that time there was not a Pentax version available and it was pleasantly priced. I recommend this converter because it works well if you are aware of its limitations and you can overcome them.
