Do you find it really useful? I just got the nikon ED15 telecon, I hear its light weight.

Yes, it's very useful...

The Canon TC-DC58A teleconverter is quite heavy compared to a TCON-17 or LT55 (don't know about the Nikons), and the pistol grip is under the balance point of the camera + TC. Given my technique with that setup (I described in an earlier post), it helps a lot with handling and stability.

By the way, I favour the TC-DC58A teleconverter because it's comparable optical quality to the Nikons, but a bit easier to find (therefore cheaper)... and because it allows a lot more wide angle before vignetting, than other TC's. I only need it for airshows, and the improved wide-angle lets me shoot planes taxiing close by, as well as the more distant flying displays.

Hatstand - with Canon TC-DC58A, what adapter do I need to use for FZ200 ?

same way, what adapter do i need for TCON-17

LT55 being panasonic, can i use this without adapter
