Did you use the Olympus brand adapter tube or some 3rd party tube?

How are the TCON-17 results?

For the WCON, I wonder if you could just set the lens to wide angle and then attach shorter adapter....

I am going to test whether a B-28 0.8x lens works without vignetting since it has a bigger rear element...

I've had the TCON-17X on my XZ-1 for a few weeks (but sold it because it was to bulky).

With respect to image quality, it had no faults as far as I could see. Sharpness was great, even in the far corners. Auto focus worked good. No vignetting. The 190mm F2.5 equiv lens is quite unique of course, considering the price and the package.
