I recently picked up one of these at National Camera in Minnesota -- does
anyone have any experience and/or opinions on it? It seems to be oriented
towards use with a 50mm lens (at least the focusing scale is calibrated for
a 50mm lens), and works reasonably well with my Zuiko 50mm/f1.8. It is
pretty neat, in that it will focus down to a 1:1 image ratio using both the
lens's helicoid and the converter's. Does anyone know if it can be used
with other focal lengths? I tried it with a 80-200 Vivitar zoom, with
strange results.... for example, the zoom became a varifocal lens! Thanx!
