Dave, >From an old lens catalogue... The A2X-S works with everything from the A16/2.8 FE to the F600/4 (but not the FA600/4). Also good for A600/5.6, P1000/8, P1000/11, most zooms and all the Macros. The A1.4X-S works with A16/2.8 FE thru F300/4.5 (but not FA300/4.5). Also most zooms and all the Macros (except the A200/4Macro).
The A2X-L and A1.4X-L have long snouts and will only fit in the following lenses. A300/2.8 both fit A400/2.8 both fit A400/5.6 - A1.4X-L doesn't fit, A2X-L does A500/4.5 both fit F600/4 both fit FA600/4 both fit A600/5.6 both fit P1000/8 both fit A1200/8 both fit A200/4 macro - both fit A85/2.2 soft focus - both fit I think the beginning of the list is the key to the L converters. They are for the big glass - 300-600mm and f2.8! They fit in a few other lenses, but do not offer better performance with them. Regards, Bob S.
