Thank you Doug
Yes, that is what I was thinking. Like many, I have been shooting film
and scanning. I really like the results I have been getting with the
R5 and 80mm, and I don't want to give it up.
That being said, film is getting expensive and from what I gather from
this list, the leitax seems to be the best option for me. If the 2x
APO extender worked well with the Summilux lenses, I could adjust to
the doubled length (but that doesn't seem to be the case wide open :
( as you indicate).
I haven't seen anyone use leica lenses on pentax bodies, is there a
qualitative reason for that?
Much appreciated,
James

Are you asking about the scenario of keeping the R mount on the 80,
and
converting the camera end of the extender? It would have to be a 2x
extender because the 1.4x has a protruding 'nose' that would collide
with
the rear of the lens, and unless I'm mistaken the extender isn't all
that
great at the widest apertures, might have to stop down to f/2.8
(effective
aperture f/5.6) or so.
