Sounds like a 258mm will be a good match for your setup. Something that would go to about 4K on the break should let you leave very nice and still be very efficient up top. Guessing about 5% slip on the big end. Give us a call or shoot us an email and we would be glad to help you out.

I don't build converters. But I do have relationships with converter companies nationwide. Including the two Sponsors that posted here.

If you would like to kick around some of your options I wouldn't mind giving you my opinion based on my experience. I spec out converters for guys just like you dang near every day. Just give me a call whenever you have a few minutes and I'll help you out.
