jonathan_rush Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280272053432 Can someone tell me what this is? It looks like a dial-an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renatoa Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 You place it between the regular 50mm lens and acts either as a 3x TC, either as a macro adapter down to 1:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 For one thing, it's an inexcusably lousy photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 wow, that is a terrible photo. How can a camera dealer take a pic that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renatoa Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Better pictures here, but for Olympus. Both ends with mounts can be seen. http://www.allegro.pl/item432780554_panagor_3x_tele_macro_konverter_olympus_om.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Cambridge? Yeah, they take pictures of dirty equipment on dirty backgrounds. At least normally they aren't blurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemked Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I once had something similar from Sigma (except it was 2X). Obviously I have no experience with this one but the Sigma 2X I had allowed you to remove the optics effectively making it an extension tube. It was a really terrible teleconvertor though.

snik75 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've heard by the time you get to 3X with a TC, it's pretty much crap. Don't know about the macro this promises, but I would be wary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan_rush Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 But how does it work? Do elements move inside the tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
