The idea of wide converters is cool but as a user of GXR system I would like to compare GR with 21 converter against GXR A12 module with VC 15/4.5, both quality and sizelike.
From what I read on Ming Thein blog the converter is O:K at F 2.8 and very good at F 5,6. Well, my VC15/4.5 is very good at 5.6 too and takes filters ( the old version which is miniscule, you just jam reversed leica 39mm in the built-in shade, immobilizing it with bit of tape. There`s one thing more. The moustache distortion, I didn`t know it that prominent. Would be disturbing in architecture shots.
The fotos look somewhat familiar. Let me guess before going to your site.. Tulum on Yucatan, perhaps?
If right then I`ve been there once some 30 plus years ago on the way back from South America vagabonding. Memories, memories.
