Interesting... So I guess "removing" does indeed mean "philing" ?
After I posted about filing the rear element protection tab on the
90/2, someone else posted that he simply pushed it with his thumb,
and it came off. But I went to so much more trouble, surely my
solution is better! :-)

True, this TC only fits on a few of the supertelephoto lenses...
Actually, it fits a number of lenses, including the Zuiko 85-250/5
among zooms (the only zoom I have to test it on). I think it will
also go on the 35 shift!
Of course, what it will physically fit on, and what it produces good
results with, are two different things...

... unfortunately the 100-200/5 seems to the only zoom on which it
physically fits...:(((
It seems to fit the 85-250 zoom as well, without any modification,
although I'm not terribly impressed with the results.
