Notes: *Effective aperture in parenthesis (). Identical lens as above test! Used a Bogen Telephoto Lens Support for additional stability, although it barely fits this lens/converter combo. Moderately high contrast in center and corner at f/3.5 (7), f/5.6 (11) and f/11 (22); high contrast in center and moderately high contrast in corner at f/16; moderately high contrast images in center and moderate contrast in corner at f/16 (32) and f/22 (44).
