I have one. My personal opinion is that the results it delivers are
amazingly good for the money, and it handles well. My entry in the
Macro-TOPE was taken with this gadget, as I don't own any real macro
lenses (a few zooms with "Macro" settings, but that doesn't count) -
they are just too insanely expensive for the relatively few times I
would probably use them. I haven't used the Panagor for a while as I
sniped a Vivitar Macro Focusing Teleconverter off *B*y some months ago
which IMHO is just as good for macro but will also focus to infinity
and can therefore be used as a regular 2xTC, which the Panagor can't.
So now I have to carry just one converter where I had to haul two
around before.
