Hi Zos,

compatibility and other issues with different eye-fi cards. For

Thanks to Mark and Peter for the info. I think the A580 will be a good buy for

He could even mount M42 Super Taks and SMC Takumars on his Canon T90.
That was a great camera. I still have mine.

At a camera club night a younger meber (using a analog Canon 90 -something)
was looking at all the DSLR's - aiming to choose/buy one.
He liked the Pentax, it felt good to the hands, he thought.

Igor,
Use the 2x-S for most all lenses.
Use the 2x-L if you have long, fast glass.
Specifically 300mm f2.8, 400mm f2.8, 600mm f2.8
also fits the A200/4 Macro... very specialized.

And, in general, it also works with "them", too (although probably not as

The A2X-S works well with every lens I've tried it on, although I've never
attached it to a lens shorter than 135. It isn't limited to lenses under 300mm.
It's just that the A2X-L is designed specifically for longer glass. Some long

I checked the Pentax USA site, (www.pentaximaging.com), for the PDF
document on rear converters in general and this one in particular, and
couldn't find it. There may be one there but it isn't apparent. On the
other hand here is the description page from Boz's site

Hmm. The manual seems to be missing on the Pentax USA site now. I
believe I downloaded it in the past and have a copy on my desktop
system at home, I'll check when I get back there.

Sorry to ask this question, as I think it was discussed before,
but I cannot find it.
Which lenses are compatible with the 2x-s converter? (besides that they
should be within 300mm)
Are zoom lenses ok?
All pointers, including why I shouldn't buy it, are appreciated.
