You mean those So-Nice-Can-Be-Put-On-MRTcard-Ones?

if anyone is looking for close-up filters, you could try Foto Guide (besides Cathay Photo, Peninsula). I got a Hoya 52mm +3 for $12.

I also just got a ND8 filter ($10) which reduces the amount of light entering the lens and allows slow shutter speed to be used during the day. This will allow "silky" water flow/falls to be captured.

Canon 58mm 1.5x teleconverter (meant for G1 and G2) should be quite good and it cost ~$140. But you would need to get a step-up ring but you have more zoom range to use.

Fujifilm 1.5x (with adaptor) costs around $170. It's light and from what I've heard, the quality is good. You also get a good zoom range.

I've the $70 Olympus C-210 1.9x but there's vignetting. To minimise vignetting at full zoom, I need to remove the UV filter.

There's another Olympus C-180 1.7x which costs $70 (at Mustafa previously). I think there would be less vignetting compared to the C-210.

So far, seems like there're very few cheap and good teleconverter. I wanted to try out the new Canon 2.4x teleconverter but the shops hadn't gotten it yet

Thanks

No problem

Fuji 1.5x from both Cathay Photo and MS Color.

Canon 1.5x from MS Color.

I didn't test out the quality though. You intend to get one of them?
