Can you tell us what your definition of a "multilayer" is? Thx.

Thanks. Basically a Tele-adapter for EF-M.

None that I’m aware of either. I suppose because there aren’t any dedicated EF-M telephotos to make use of it.

The “Rexley Special” would be the next best thing (375mm actual).

This thread inspired me to make another attempt at the 'Rexlar' native EF-M teleconverter... I wanted to see if I could get it working with at least one EF-M lens. I've documented my attempts to make an EF-M native TC in 1 or 2 other threads, out of a 'cheap' vintage Vivitar 2x teleconverter. Its optical assembly is very short --- giving it the best chance of success in the very short EOS M optical path... but knowing that it would probably not have great image quality.

Here's my home-made TC, with the vintage Vivitar 2x optical assembly mounted into the 10mm MOVO EF-M native DG extension tube:

Another great project Larry!  You should produce and market these "Rexlars!" 

Thanks for sharing!
