I have seen one of the above for £28.00 used of course (about 10-15 yrs old I'd guess) . One of my cameras is a Fuji HS20 EXR and I bought a Neewer 2x converter for it. That was rubbish, but the folks on the HS forums at Fuji were recommending 3 adapters: The Raynox 2050 (I saw some amazing shots from it), a Sony Teleconverter, and what I assume was the above model from Olympus. I can't recall seeing any shots from the Olympus converter, but it was supposed to be highly recommended. However, at the Camera retailer next door to where this is for sale, the manager said that it was designed for Olympus bridge models and would be cr*p on my 70D. If you look at my kit in my signature, you'll see I've not got any 'Decent' lenses, just cheap ones, which I'm happy with at the moment. I'm surprised at the photo shop managers response about the lens, given the glowing reports from the Fuji community. Has anyone here had experience using this add, and what was the IQ like? Given my budget lenses, I'm not after top notch results, but if they will come close to what Canon lenses I have already without a big IQ drop, or if it will give decent results on my HS20 EXR for wildlife (I know AF might be an issue but can MF) I'll give it a punt.
