Only the Olympus TCON-14B has no vignetting....

yah... looks like tht's the only model that does not vignette. But I've read in other forums/posts that the A200 does not vignette at full telephoto too. Too bad no pics too see.

B300 if you can find it and are willing to spend the $400 on it.
They frequently appear on Ebay and the price keeps rising.....

Just wondering why Singapore never carry such products.

Actually, they did. The B300 was still available in small quantities over a year back. The reason why it cannot be found now is that it's discontinued.

In that case i'll just stick with 7x and 2x digital. Sian ...

Do ask around before getting a "2x" one. Usually these are meant for video cameras, degrades image quality and perform less than speced.

But it is very big ... I tested out this configuration and find it un useable ... it is very heavy ... in fact I t hink it is heavier than the camera ... was afriad tht it would tear out the lens.
