RE: [OM] Teleconverters?

[Roger D. Key]

The picture in 2935410656 looks suspiciously like one of Tamron's older
4-element converters, some of which were F (Fixed) - System.

I have a 7-element F-System Tamron (at home), and have just bought another
on *Bay (#2934119077), I hope.

I also have a Tamron F-System Macro-focussing teleconverter, which is
identical with Vivitar's version.

There is also a Tamron 2x TC for OM, such as item 2935410656 (you know
where) which will be easier to mount - I don't know how the optics compare.

It is just an adaptall thing, however there are a number of others that
should work.  You might start your search by looking for a Vivitar macro
focusing 2X.  A set of tubes is handy also and any brand with an auto
feature will work. I have both the Olympus and the Vivitar and use both.
The
Vivitars can be picked up fairly cheaply.  Bill Barber
