Re: An important addition to the 14mm f2.5 features

It's not just a very cool little lens, but you can also add a wide angle converter lens, the

which transforms your 14mm lens into a 11,5mm lens! It's not up to a, say, Olympus 12mm f2, however, very good considering the price! I took really nice images with this combo.

I was looking for a "cheap" wide angle solution for my setup and just stumbled across this converter. I found a few older post in this forum and it seems to work quite ok. Could you add some experience? I am still hesitating and need some slight push

And by the way: How is it with wide angle converters and apertures? The converter changes the focal length but not the physical aperture so I would expect it to behave like an 11mm f1.83 or something.  Or has the lens to be stopped down?
