Hi Marc!

If you've Leitax'ed your lenses, you could always take a Canon 
Extender!   Perhaps not quite as good as the APO-R extender, but  I 
suspect it would give you a better image, than simply cropping the 
original file, as you have.  Another alternative is a 1.4 
extender.  Not as strong, but not as much image degradation, nor as 
much light loss.  That, and some (but a lesser amount of) cropping, 
might give you the same result, with better image quality.

Extenders, while not the perfect solution, in any case, are a great 
idea for the traveler.  Both compact and light.

Just thoughts...

Cheers!
David.
