Macro Focusing Teleconverter

[Reiska]

An experiment with Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter. My humble opinion is, that it is if not good, at least acceptable.
Heavy and slow but amusing and look what a name it has

First picture is taken with Zuiko 40-150mm (ca. 50mm) and the second is taken with Vivitar 135mm/2.8 and that "oddity".

I used OM to Four Thirds adapter (MF-1) to fit this combination on Olympus E-500.

Hey Reiska

Seems to work just fine. I have one for Yashica AF cameras, but the Yashica AF lenses are pretty good themselves. (Need to get a wide though....!)

A Yacht Boy eh? The earliest models of those were the most annoying radios I ever came across. The quality control as they left the Grundig factory was diabolical. To get anything like good reception you often had to re-align the whole thing. Nowadays, they're on a digital phase locked loop. Dial up the frequency, and if you can't hear the station, it isn't on the air!
