Forgot to add one thing would these adapters not reduce the iq of fz200 as it sits on the lens and change the optics

The adapter tubes do not change the optics... except if you zoom out far enough, you will actually see the tube in your photo.

The adapter tube encloses the camera's lens barrel, and the camera lens operates as normal inside the tube. The teleconverter sits on the end of the tube, and just acts like a magnifying glass.

A "perfect" teleconverter of this type has no effect on aperture values, image quality etc, it simply presents a magnified image to the camera lens.

However, teleconverters are NOT perfect. The Nikon's are generally regarded as the best, minimal optical distortion and absorption by the glass. The Canon is very close. Everything else is apparently not so good - although in the real world, I have had great results from my Panasonic LT55.

do you have any pics from FZ200 or any camera with Panasonic LT55
