I recently picked up one of these at National Camera in Minnesota -- does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on it? It seems to be oriented towards use with a 50mm lens (at least the focusing scale is calibrated for a 50mm lens), and works reasonably well with my Zuiko 50mm/f1.8. It is pretty neat, in that it will focus down to a 1:1 image ratio using both the lens's helicoid and the converter's. Does anyone know if it can be used with other focal lengths? I tried it with a 80-200 Vivitar zoom, with strange results.... for example, the zoom became a varifocal lens! Thanx!
