Pro90 Telephoto Q's

[Kman]

I have 2 questions

- How does the TCON-17 telephoto lens stay on the camera?

-Is the new TCON-17 2x, work on the Pro90?

I saw this listing on ebay and looks like a good price

The TCON needs an step-down ring to convert it's threads (55mm?) to the 58mm on the Pro 90. Then you just screw everything together...

I don't think their really is a TCON-17 2X - that add looks like it's for a cheap 2X teleconverter.

I concur... the one shown on Ebay is not a TCON-17. The genuine article is made of black metal, not silver. It's a 1.7 (TCON-17... 1.7... get it? ) telephoto converter. Can't speak about the quality of the Ebay offering, but the Olympus product is very good, though a bit heavy.
