Canon G3 and Olympus C-210

[Garion]

Zplus: haf u tried it it out looking thru the OVF (optical viewfinder)? Is the view badly blocked? Just curious to know..

BTW thanks for the review and feedback on the TC...$49.00 is a pretty good price.

:gbounce:

Just wonder whether the writing to the compact flash is slow when a shot is taken? Thanx!

Garion, there is some obstruction with the teleconvertor.
Cloud79, compact flash writing speed is independant of the teleconvertor.

Anyway, tried it outdoors at the zoo thing. Here is a post, a potrait with a little reduction in size to be web friendly. The head actually filled up the entire frame of 4 megapixels.

Well, they did re-release the B300 as a TCON-17 in japan. I heard its cheap but have not reached here yet. Its a good lens!
