[olnavi]

does anyone have one of these or know anything about them?

i have a G2 and i want to purchase a teleconvertor. right now i'm looking at raynox because i already have the corresponding lens adapter and am generally pleased with raynox stuff (i already have their DCR-5000 wideangle)

i'd appreciate any info 8)

I 'm in the market as well looking for a telephoto lense for my G3 as well :) and found the following link with the author's rating of the various lenses he has tested, including the Raynox...........

Nice link, I never saw the G1/G2 sections on that site..

It says using a UV filter cuts down the PF. Is that true for the G3? It'd be another reason to leave get one and leave it on all the time.

I remember reading that this was a specific problem of the G1 that they solved on the G2.

I am also looking at the Raynox telephoto. From what I have seen in
magazines and online, they seem pretty good and they look like they are
well built. I think I will end up with one here shortly for my G3.

Just bought a 1850PRO on eBay. I will post some sample pics as soon
as I get it....
