hi guys ...how much is the lens for 3040 zoom....any body knows.....thinking of getting one cos zoom on my present digi not enough?
There're various types of add-on lens for thr Olympus range of DC.....I assume u r refering to the Teleconverters in ur case.
Olympus B-300 1.7x HQ TC --> $280
Olympus C-210 1.9x HQ TC --> $70

The B-300 is a large diameter TC made in Japan with excellent zoom range.
Whereas the C-210, although got higher magnification, is smaller in size and has some pretty bad vignetting problem except at max zoom.
It's not that the C-210 is no good, just that the B-300 is much better.
Quality difference lah!
The C-210 is meant more for a smaller lens while the B-300 is larger and will work better with more cameras.
..... then i probably have to buy the B300 already... but probably going to burn my pocket for it =P
Heard that the C-180 (1.7x) works better and costs the same as a C-210. you might want to try it. using a smaller aperture (larger #) would probably reduce vignetting as well.
Hi guys,
I am torn between 2 choices. Have talked to some Gurus and they have given very good advises but still can't decide. I want to get a lens adaptor and UV filter. Later I may want to use TC or WC lens. IF I use CLA-1 lens tube and step up to 52mm then I can use the C210 or C180 later. But, it will give me flash shadowing and bla bla flash problem. If I take lens tube that step down to 37mm then no flash problem but 37mm TC may give me Vignetting problem and can't use C-210 and C-180 anymore. What do you guys think?
:dunno:

Anyone here interested to go to city and take night shots with your camera on Saturday 26th/Jan ? Please sms me at 94784518. Will meet @ city area ard 5pm. Anyone?
if you are to get a wide-angle converter, it'll definitely block the flash. And for 37mm threaded teleconverter, it'll likely block the flash as well unless yu get those monoscope type.
