Oops ! Thought I had put a message in about that.
I have really only tested it with film with my Zuiko 135mm f3.5 (makes it
~200mm f3.5) and it looks pretty good. One of my test targets at the moment
is a silver birch tree trunk, which has some fine detail in it. This looked
good through the 50mm loupe. Other shots also looked fine. The images are
sharp with no obvious vignetting. Mounted on my 50mm f1.4 there is
considerable vignetting wide open (I was thinking it might be a good
portrait combination).
