The Vivitar Series 1 macro had a Barlow lens 1:1 adapter, but it isn't a
teleconverter. The Vivitar macro had nothing that is matched.  The
Tamron SP macro had a Tamron SP 2X teleconverter, but don't believe the
marketing talk - it isn't truely matched to any lens. It is just a 7
element (thus "better") design.
