Canon has a 2.4X teleconverter designed for the A40, the model number is TC-DC52.
The following are the Japanese ans US websites featuring this item:
http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/PSA40/PSA40_5-e.html
http://www.canoncompanystore.com/cg...erTemplate/50?Category=1095&RootCategory=1090
If the US link does not show the item, just do a search for the part number.
The price in US is about US$129.

what u mentioned is the original telconvertor by canon..
why restrict yourself to canon?
haha..ok...sorry if i sounded too harsh, roygoh...Originally posted by roygoh
Just a suggestion. Not a restriction. I know there are many other choices out there, and blizzy did not specifically ask for third-party or original teleconvertors. The choice is his.

you might want to try out the Olympus C-210 1.9x teleconverter. It's fairly cheap at $70.

a potential problem is vignetting. so try it out before you buy.
