Hi Barrry.

Some of the converters I have used (used prices between brackets):

Best and most expensive: Zuiko 2x ($150-200)
Second best, less expensive: Tokina 7-element 2x ($40-60)
Not too bad, cheap: Vivitar 2x ($15-25)

Special, with macro facility and rather good: Vivitar 2x macro
($40-60)

The Tokina is best 'value for money' for pictures which are not too
demanding, IMHO.

Frank.
