Hello Joel,
BUY IT! We got one at a photoshow for $10 and what a surprise. It
gets used often with a 50 mm/f1.8 and 135 mm/f3.5 and stacked extention
tubes for macro work and the edge to edge sharpness is better than our 2x
Tamron teleconverter. It has a deep well which means it can be used with
the Zuiko 35 mm/f2.8 and Tamron SP 2X teleconverters and the regular Tamron
2x cannot. It's even been used with a Tamron 60-300MM SP + 2xSP for some
1800 mm surveilance shots on the OM-PC with good resolution on a license
plate 3000+ ft away and a hellava shot of Delicate Arch from Garden of Eden
parking lot in Arches NP. You can see the hikers and their shadows 4.3
miles away.
Hope it's still there when you go back....If you don't like it, let me
know. I'll take it :)
