[OM] Re: Teleconverter: mount it before/with the lens?

[Skip Williams]

For converters that are native-to-native, like 99% of them, I don't think it 
makes much difference.

For Tamron Adaptall converters, the converters attach directly to the Adaptall 
mount of the lens and the specific maker's adapter is mounted to the converter. 
 It's really not practical to mount the converter on the body 
first....possible, just not practical with any speed.
