Really nice pictures, Jason.

I got the stuff together a few months ago, but ran out of time to do the conversion in time for the need. The need will arise again, however.

Larry, can you remind us again why you needed to remove the electronics from the teleconverter? Was it because autofocus didn't work at all or didn't work well?

I found the thread. It's here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65219570

It has been a while, but I seem to remember the combo just didn't work, it would focus hunt or something like that and it might have given errors. With no chip everything just works (except EXIF data isn't accurate).

Yep, I can confirm that the lens did not work correctly when I tried it with the electronics in place, no focus or anything

Cheers

Jason
