RE: [APML] Teleconverter advice

["Jon Kolb" <jkolb@datawest.net>]

Alson,

All I can say is stay away from Tamron and Kenko.  I did not test the
Nikon TCs, but I did find that the newest Sigma AF 1.4x model worked
pretty well with the Epsilon 160.  If you really need it, I can probably
find the test images I did with the Sigma mounted on the Epsilon, but it
might take a couple of days (those were shot pre-CD burner).  Note that
not all lenses will mount on the Sigmas - the 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D would
not mount.  I can double check both the 1.4x and the 2x on the 300mm
f/2.8 EDIF AIS if you'd like.

Sincerely,
Jon Kolb
