Re: Converters questions

This wide converter best fits the LUMIX G 14mm and a similar LUMIX G zoom. I use it with the 14mm on the E-M1.

I don't even know what SCN27 is, never mind have used it.

The converter turns the 14/2.5 into a quite decent, compact, and inexpensive 10.5mm f/2.5. There's a bit of barrel distortion and the corners go slightly soft wide open, but at f/5.6 the imaging performance is nearly on par with the HG Olympus ZD 11-22/2.8-3.5 ED, a lens four times the size, weight, and price (and a superb lens, I might add!).

I hardly ever take it off the 14mm.
