I have a Kiron 1.5X which was supposed to be a matched multiplier for the
75-150 of theirs. It only works in this range though, from 85 to 135. It
vignettes slightly on the 200/4 and 200/5 and is not useable for the 300/4.5.
Physically it doen't fit on the 50/1.8. Soligor also made a 1.5X but I
haven't tried it. I don't know of any other 1.4 or 1.5X converter. As far as
using one for wider than normal lens, I don't think this is a compatible
setup with any of the converters. Wide angles usually protrude into the
mirror box, which prevents use of a converter. Also I don't think the results
are that great.
