I have a quick and possibly stupid question. I have never used a teleconverter before and I have no idea how they're mounted. If I have a M42 mount lens fitted with an adaptor to fit my K-Mount Pentax K-5, do I need a M42 mount teleconverter or a K-Mount teleconverter?

Clayton Bigsby posted:Well, they give up so much optically that in almost all cases (excepting super high end combos like a Canon 300/2.8 and 2X III) you get a better result using a 1.4x and cropping. "Affordable" setups with a 2X generally end in (mushy) tears. Would this degradation be as pronounced on a relatively wide aperture, good quality telezoom, say a 500mm f4.5 Asahi-Pentax?

Another question, were old East German Zeiss (Jena) M42 lenses ever any good? They seem to fetch a decent price on Ebay, similar to Japanese M42 lenses of the same era. I had been under the impression that the Soviet Bloc never built anything of quality besides weapons.

This is a massive long shot but has anyone here used a Hasselblad to Pentax K-Mount adaptor before? Were there any problems? EDIT: There are some real bargains on Ebay, look at this baby, $100 with no bids yet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasselbald-...=item19d240ce4b I am aware that posting this here might drive up the price but there are plenty of other good deals out there.
