Peter:
The current crop of Olympus & Panasonic converters work only with a few lenses.
That is because the have a protruding front element. It obviously helps the
design, but means they cannot be used with lenses that have a rear element near
the actual lens mount.
Their comments are correct, in that they refer to the "equivalent" focal
lengths, ie: the angle of view being that of a certain focal length lens on a
FF 35mm body.
So, my 100~400mm P/L zoom has a field of view equivalent to a 200 to 800mm lens
on a 35mm camera.
Clear as mud?

Hi. With the Micro 4/3 design that Olympus uses, would the following------
calculations be correct when considering a MC 1.4x Extender and the
resulting 35mm equivalency in focal length. I found the comments in a
description of the device for sale on Amazon and am just curious as to
correctness of the comment. Thanks.
Best regards,

"MC-14 1.4 will only work with the Olympus 40-150 f2.8 PRO and the New
Olympus 300mm f4 PRO lenses, to date! At 1.4X the 40-150 becomes a 56-
210 and @ the 2X 35mm crop factor, it is a 112-420mm. The 300mm at 1.4X
becomes a 420 and @ the 2X 35mm crop factor, it is a 840mm."
