Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-F 1.7x AF Adapter This TC is excellent.
It offers you an experience no other TC would and it is that is a "MAGIC" Tc that brings AutoFocus to old manual lenses up to F2.8.
I mean, I have paired mine with a Pentax M 135mm f3.5 and worked perfect, but specifications say that it goes only with lenses up to F2.8 or lower.
It brings a 1.7 times magnification of your image and overall it works very really well. Of course, pair it with F Series lenses and probably will be the best combination.
As this TC is quite compact (for it's age) you can easily carry an F 28mm of an F series 50mm f1.7 and have two lenses in one the 50mm and the 50x1.7 = 85mm lens in you.
I find it not very accurate with my zoom lens at 300mm but probably it is because zooms at the end (its a 100-300mm lens) tend to prone to loose sharpness. Not in this case but probably attaching the TC to it then it produces this effect.
Other than that this is a gem no other brand has ever been able to create that I know. |
