Yes, that's the one.
The problem with the Zuiko 1.4x, besides the
rather high price, is that it does not fit all
lenses. For instance I could not use it with my
135/2.8, making a very compact 200/4 for my
"light travel" Domke bag. That's why I was
wondering if other 1.5x converters were any
better: Kenko, Kiron, Soligor... - anybody has
tested them?
