WCON / xz-1

p.s.: found this http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/compati/di000390e.cfm - so the WCON-07 has the same 55mm thread as the TCON-17...

Yes, but that won't help.

The WCON needs to be used at the WA setting of the lens, and its back lens element needs to be close to the front lens of the camera; otherwise it will not work (no infinity focus and/or bad image quality).

Using the WCON would require a shorter lens adapter and extra menu setting to prevent bumping the extending lens into the converter when mounted.
