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.
