Olympus PEN Converter Lenses Tested

Lens converters which fit to the front of the lens are nothing new, and were especially common for use with fixed lens digital cameras to give a little extra wide angle or telephoto range than the fitted lens could offer.

Olympus have introduced a selection of three converters for use with their 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II and 40-150mm lenses, which attach to the front via a bayonet fitting. They offer a budget alternative to buying a specialised wide angle, fisheye or macro lens.

In this review, we'll take a look at how each converter performs.
