Hi,

Just want to know if somebody already tried a WCON-08 on any Oly E-system?
I have a tcon17 that I used for my sigma 50-200mm and it works fine. Im just wondering if the WCON-08 will also do no harm to my pics and will auto focus also work just like on my TCON.

Im planning to use WCON-08 on my ZD 14-55mm kit lens.. if its possible.


Btw, how do I changed my nick? just found out that I should use my real name here.. sorry guys im just a newbie here.

Thanks in advance !!!

Yes this is the Sigma 55-200mm F4 - 5.6 DC on my Oly E330 and Olympus TCON 17. Just got the idea from this website http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/oly-e/si-tcon.html

Since oly system have a 2x crop factor meaning my Sigma 55-200mm F4 - 5.6 DC with TCON17 it gives me a 680mm !!!

Ofcourse the quality is not the same as those white lenses, but for a budget shooter like me... I love it !!!

Will post some pics of my Phuket trip soon using this setup.

Thanks

I just read the article! That's not bad at all!! =D

I'm a budget shooter as well, that means that i'm can't afford the ZD 300mm or the Sigma 50-500mm.. at least not yet =b

Thanks for the idea! =)

As for your question:

How are you planning to attach the WCON to the lens? =)

well since the WCON is 55mm thread and my 14-54mm is also 55mm i'd like to experiment if the auto focus will also function just like my sima on a tcon lens.

Hahaha over na ba? heheeh i'd like to experiment alot thats why.
