I just did the latter, it just slips out of the way and locks fine. mounting on the body means three lose lenses when you swap, so it was easier to just mate the 1.4 and swap the combo outVictor:
With the Leica extenders, they suggest you mount the extender on the body first. This moves the aperture follower on the extender out of the way so the lens mounts properly. It was in the manual for the extenders You could also do it your way or just move the follower on the extender as you mount it to the lens.
I was really that close. The American Kestrel is one of the smallest North American hawk, not much bigger than an American Robin. I use the 1.4x APO-Extender on the 280 quite often:Dear Doug
Were you really so close you needed the extender to focus? or is that to get the ray path a better geometry (I think certain parts of lens groups have sharper image making depending on the distance of the object.)
the 1.4x is a pleasant surprise. Havent tried on WL yet (except if you consider Tball players "wildlife" LOLI was really that close. The American Kestrel is one of the smallest North American hawk, not much bigger than an American Robin. I use the 1.4x APO-Extender on the 280 quite often:
as well as the Kestrel photo. I find it does very little damage to the image quality, if anything.
It's a (near)universal extension tube for all Leica reflex bodies and most lenses. Meters at full aperture with all except the Leicaflex Standard, and I've found only a few lenses that won't fit on it. I make them from old 3-cam 14198 extension tubes.Victor:
What is a UET-R?

I have the most critical parts I need to make one, once I find the rest of the parts for the right price I can make another one for you.BTW do you still have a copy of the UET-R for sale? I would like to buy one.
