Hi Ulf,
My Kiron x1.5 teleconverter clashes with the 50mm f1.8 if I don't focus
down before trying to fit it. As far as I know it has not done any damage,
although it has touched a few times. Because the focus range has shifted
the lens will still focus out to infinity, but go much beyond that and
towards the infinity markings and the glass will touch.
No problem with the 135mm f3.5 - the results are good!

OM Tyro - please point my lens in the right direction.
