OM SYSTEM EC-20 2.0X Teleconverter

I remember hearing this getting some flack long ago. I had an EC14 that worked great. I recently got an olympus 150mm F2 and picked one of these up to try with it and it works fabulous. You do lose 2 stops of light, but can still provide great results.

I had a 2x multiplier that I purchased for about half this price a couple of years ago and I hated it. It was terribly distorted and gave a fish-eye look to the photos. I read the reviews on this one and purchased it because everyone loved it. I'm not disappointed.

Turns three lens into six - worth the money. You will have some trouble in low light conditions. You will also need to use a tripod for best results. But, I use a tripod for "zoom in" pictures anyway.I have used it with the Zuiko 14-54mm zoom and the Zuiko 70-300mm zoom on an Olympus E-620 with much...

Works great with the SHG lenses and can work well with the HG Oly lenses.

I'm able to get increased functionality from a variety of lenses because of the increased focal length the teleconverter provides. It allows me to be farther away from a subject when using my macro lense and increases the range of my zoom lenses.

A good doubler my Olymbus camera.

Excellent optics and construction.

I use this teleconverter a great deal with my 50-200mm lens when shooting wildlife. The pictures are sharp, and it only takes minimally longer to focus than without it. I've also found it very handy with both my macro and my wide angle lenses.

Like all tele-extenders, this one works best with fast lenses in bright conditions. I use this with an Olympus E-3 and 50-200mm zoom (100-400mm 35mm equivilent) and at the maximum focal length, autofocus is hit-and-miss.

I bought this a few months ago as I wanted better close ups when I was taking pictures of birds with my 70-300mm telephoto lens. It certainly gives you a better close up but so far I haven't managed to get a longer shot into decent focus.
