Hi,
I just got back from my trip to Ireland. I tested the B-300 front convertor,
but I still need to study my slides. Vignetting is definitely quite noticable,
which is a shame. Second, I don't particularly like the fact that I need to
screw it into the filter thread every time I want a bit longer lens. The
filter thread is clearly not made for this purpose, whereas the bayonet is.
I found the fact that there's no filter thread in the B-300 itself, to be no
problem: the filters can be fitted between the B-300 and the main lens. But it
doesn't feel very safe to have a lot of glass hanging off a polarizing filter.
Interesting experience all in all !
Peter.
