I think actually that it was someone else who recently posted about this, not you. The idea was that somehow 'erother all communication could be maintained. Maybe that was the thread concerning using a modded an FD TC 1.4 instead of modding the lens. Hmmm, my brain is fuzzy today.
That would be me. I got it to work with my almost-free test Yashica 2x converter mounted in reverse, but I have not continued further testing since I took delivery of a massive Kilfitt 600/5.6 and since I don't have a sharp FD lens for testing. Also, for much better results I would like to use a Mutar 1.4x T* converter, which I have not been able to locate one cheap. So, for the time being I have put the idea on the back burner. But I did achieve infinity focus and beyond due to the registry distances, and overshooting infinity didn't bother me.

Paul, I do like to get more details on where you had your lens converted. I am going back and forth between FD 300/2.8 L idea vs. saving for a Tamron AF 300/2.8 for faster moving subjects.
