Very good advice Mark!
I'd just like to add one small comment to this, and that is that if you're
going to look for a teleconverter to hook up to the 65-200/4, the Olympus
2xA won't do, as the 65-200/4 has some protruding tabs at the mount side of
the lens, preventing it to be put on the Olympus 2xA. Therefore, indeed one
needs either a 3rd party teleconverter, or one needs to remove these tabs
from the lens (which I don't recommend). I think the Vivitar TC you
recommend is about the best you can get, so if it fits to the 65-200/4, that
would indeed be the one I'd be looking for.
Cheers!
