Yes it does, in principle...
However, since I already have those lenses.. and I have all the time in the world (practically retired - still trying to find adequate job but no-one wants me and my 63 years)... and Chinese 4" f/7 ED (according to last year's quote from Gilman of NortGroup) is US$815.. it is worth the effort.

Also, those lenses are ideal for Sun eclipses - being short and lightweight.
