Teleconverter + adapter from Laowa/Venus - Brightcolours - 05-25-2017 http://www.venuslens.net/laowa-magic-format-converter-mfc/ Funny tidbits:
I do not see contacts for the shown Canon model, which would mean shooting wide open only? Teleconverter + adapter from Laowa/Venus - toni-a - 05-25-2017 When full frame became within reach, some teleconverters were used to use crop system lenses on full frame, that was a miserable failure Teleconverter + adapter from Laowa/Venus - Brightcolours - 05-26-2017 Quote:When full frame became within reach, some teleconverters were used to use crop system lenses on full frame, that was a miserable failureWhy exact;y was that a failure?

I have not read anywhere about people using a TC to use APS-C lenses on FF in the transition period. There were no teleconverters on which you could mount the EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM, or other EF-S lenses. That said, I see no issue with using my 1.7x (measured more like 1.6x) with my Ultra-Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2 which has too small an image circle on FF, or my modified EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM. With the former it crops away the dark corners, and with the latter it gives the lens' full range it was designed for in the 1st place.

Some people I knew were using some crummy film (but naturally full-frame) lenses like the 28-90 or 28-105 with their 5D, maybe they were thinking that FF is a magic bullet that would have made even a bad lens like this shine. Of course none of that stuck, and before long they were all equipped with the likes of 24-105 or 24-70 L lenses. P. S. What TC are you using with that Canon setup?
