Digital camera reviews of Olympus EC14 1.4x Teleconverter Lens (for at f/2.8 on E-System lenses)
Digital camera Review: A well designed teleconverter that could go on the Hubble,it is that slick
Summary: 5 Stars
I hesitated this purchase,because I dislike converters in general. Olympus has scored a winner in this one by cramming 6 elements into a disk that is less than one inch in depth and which mates with a water resistant seal to the better Zuiko ED lenses. I am using it almost exclusively with the 50mm f 2 (actually usable only to f 2.8 value for technical reasons). Reason: It adds some closeup capability by keeping the close focus distance of the prime and upping the magnification factor. For portrait use too,it keeps a bright finder image and gives the DOF of an equivalent 70mm lens (blurs backgrounds more, a problem with a true 50mm for some). I can see no barrel distortion w/ the prime lens. With the 14-54 the viewfinder gets a little dark,but not too much so. Conclusion: It takes a good prime and makes it an even better or at least more versatile prime. Shooting through a total of 16 or so glass elements becomes a triumph of good coating and optical alignment. Not inexpensive,but a handy gadget that I will use with future telephoto Zuikos to add that leetle beet extra...PS.I will never use the case,preferring Zing neoprene lens bags to hard or ultra soft cases...
Summary of Olympus EC14 1.4x Teleconverter Lens (for at f/2.8 on E-System lenses)
Olympus EC14 1.4x Teleconverter Lens (for at f/2.8 on E-System lenses)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.
