Olympus
The Olympus Camedia Tele Extension Lens Pro TCON-14B is a high-quality, front-mounting teleconverter originally designed for Olympus E-10 and E-20 digital cameras. It provides a 1.45x magnification boost to your lens's focal length without causing light loss.
Key Specifications:
Magnification: 1.45x.
Mounting Thread: 62mm (screws onto the front of your existing lens).
Front Filter Thread: 86mm.
Optical Design: 5 elements in 3 groups with multi-coated glass.
Build Quality: Rugged, all-metal (aluminum) construction.
Weight: Approximately 475g to 523g (roughly 1.1 lbs).
Compatibility and Use:
Native Use: Specifically built for the Olympus Camedia E-10 and E-20 series.
Universal Use: Can be used with any camera or lens that has a 62mm filter thread. It is popular for use with other bridge cameras (like the Panasonic Lumix FZ series) or modern mirrorless lenses via step-up or step-down rings.
Performance: It is known for maintaining a fast aperture (e.g., 2.4 or 2.8) and providing excellent image quality for an auxiliary lens, though some edge softness or fringing may occur. To avoid vignetting (dark corners), it is generally best used when the host lens is zoomed to its maximum focal length.
