What is the exact model of the .8X olympus converter you are using? Is this
the one used on the IS series cameras?

> I find I usually choose the 21/2 over the 18/3.5. At almost two stops
faster, it is a lot more convenient in most lighting situations. I then
attach an Olympus 0.8x to the front, to give me the equivalent angle of view
of a 16.8mm f2 lens!

as good as the "naked" 18/3.5, but you can get the pair for cheaper than the
18/3.5, and it's almost two stops faster...
