Dear Olympus doubler users -

Have you experienced using doublers with wide angle lenses ?
I put my 28mm on the Vivitar zoom extension doubler and wow the
depth of field from the 28 mm is remains even though the focal length
is now 56 mm !

I think this might be a way to get two hummingbirds both in focus in
the same shot.   Does anyone ever use two doublers on a wide angle ?
Blaker wrote about doing this in his book "Field Photography"

Oh yeah -- thanks to the guy on this list that told of the trick to use
a 7mm extension tube on the Zuiko 35-70 mm zoom -- what a great
combination !  It's so light weight !  I took in on a long hike and
photographed
a Lorquinn's (spelling) Admiral butterfly and I did not need a flash !
That little 7mm extension tube is a great companion for wide angle
lenses !
I'll never leave  home without one again !
