Product Description
Telephoto converter for the Olympus TG-1 when used with the CLA-T01 adapterOlympus TCON-T01 Tele Converter for Olympus TG-1 & TG-2 (Black) Review
(Adapted from my review on the TG-2)I consider this lens a bit overpriced, considering that you also need a $20 adapter, which should have been built into the lens instead of the 40.5mm threads. Regardless it is small, high quality glass, and has another set of 40.5mm threads on the front for filters. I have had very satisfying results with the teleconverter, which should be most useful for shots taken from a fixed location (sports, performance, cruise) but is of course not as useful as a normal zoom lens. Because of the heavy lens vignette, the camera must use it's maximum optical zoom (4x). Thus any further zooming uses digital zoom only. Minimum zoom shots are 100% equivalent quality to the best non-teleconverter shots, but at higher magnification. From that point, further digital zoom still looks nice, but naturally collects noise. If you want a variety of shot composition options, you will have to quickly take the teleconverter off, and switch the camera mode back to normal. This is easy and quick, but not seamless, about 5 seconds.
