Thanks buddy.  I have noticed little light loss (under tungsten light, 1/20 
sec difference), but the TCON-17C is unlike anything I've ever seen 
before.  I suppose it's closest to a diopter.  To use it:

1) remove any UV filter etc. from the lens
2) screw in an adapter into the housing around the lens
3) mount the TCON into the adapter with a bayonet-style mount

When you turn the C-5060 on, you have to make sure to zoom to the long 
end.  I've probably made it sound like a ritual to use, and I suppose it 
is, but it's welcome if you need the reach.  Only show in town.

The TCON-17C seems very cheaply made, "floater" materials. :(  Most 
un-Zuiko-like.  But I can't yet see a falloff in quality, so the glass must 
be OK.
