Nearly all of the shots taken with my 90/2.5 Tamron plus the Nikon 4T would
have been at apertures of f8 or smaller. I have not done any testing or
comparisons with different apertures, but I expect that the 4T would result
in some image degradation at wider apertures, but probably not as much as
the simple one element CU lenses.
John Shaw describes the Nikon series thus: "When placed on a good lens,
these dioptres are capable of first quality flat-field reproduction".
(Outdoor Photographer November 1991.) In his "Closeups in Nature" book, he
also maintains that their quality also remains quite high when paired
together.
After thinking more about this subject today, I realised that the 4T (52mm)
may also work OK with the 90/2. I will need to pick up a 55 to 52 step
down ring first. If it vignettes, I have only lost the few dollars cost of
the step down ring. If it works OK, I will not need to buy a 6T plus step
up ring.
