Description
Extends the focal length by 1.4x, this lens is compatible with all of Zuiko Digital Lenses, and maximizes the interchangeable lens capability
When you need more telephoto zoom in a smaller package, the EC14 1.4x teleconverter lens is an ideal choice. With only one stop of light loss, the 1.4x converter provides a fast super-telephoto experience whether you're taking sports shots or nature photography. With the Olympus EC14, you can turn your Zuiko digital 300mm f/2.8 lens into a 420mm f/4.0 lens (with a 35mm equivalent of 840mm at f/4.0)--a must for capturing the action on the field at a mega stadium. Overall, the EC14 is compatible with the Zuiko digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5, 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5, 300mm f/2.8, and 50mm f/2.0 (f/2.8 and up) lenses. Fully multi-coated to retain the high lens performance you expect from Olympus, this inexpensive lens still delivers professional-level results.

EC14 1.4x teleconverter

I am using this with my Olympus 510 and so far have been very happy with it. I have used this on both kit lenses with great sucess on both telephoto shots as well as macro shots. All pictures come out very clear.

The converter has done everything it is suppose to do. On the 40-150mm lens it can make a substancial difference in field of view. Which is important with nature and portrait work. However, it did make a difference in the camera's overall weight.
Wish I hadn't bought this one.

I have been very kind reviewing several other products. In the interest of balanced reporting this will be different. If I could do it over I would have saved my money and put it toward the purchase of the 50-200mm Zuiko0 lens. (later this year)
For now I get by with the excellent 12-60mm lens and when I need to go longer the extender usually isn't enough, plus it's one thing more to carry.
On my Olympus E510 two lenses will do everything that I want to do, and I shouldn't have bought the extender instead of the longer lens.
I LIKE IT!!
