I'm sorry if this question was already asked.
I'm migrating from my old (nice) baby Oly2000z to Oly5050 and I'm looking
for Telephoto Converter Lens.
I have 41->43 KLA1 Adapter and 43->55 step up ring.
Which lens would you recommend ?
Thanks.

You're in perfect shape for the best teleconverter, the Oly TCON-17,
1.7x converter. It screws onto your 55mm ring.

What are the best 2x and 3x converters?

I don't know of any that are good quality.
I wish I did. I'd LOVE a 3x.
The Raynox DCR-1850 Pro which is also a good lens is advertised to be
1.85x is really only 1.70x magnification.
The Tiffens and other Raynoxes aren't very good.

Hi Charlie! Is the TCON-17 a reborn/rebadged B-300, or is it a new design?

I'm not sure. Oly says it's a new "digital" design. I've seen one test
in which it looks a bit crisper then the B-300. Grrrr!!!
