Just purchased a G7 with the 14-140, very pleased with this rig. I am interested in adding a wide angle lens or converter. I went to B&H, filtered on wide angle converters for 58mm, came up with 9 entries, ranging from $12 to $300.

So the obvious question is do any wide angle converters work well on this lens? Any recommendations?

Thanks,

There is a reasonable chance this one will work:

At 14mm and f8 it should give you acceptable corner sharpness and 9-10mm wide angle experience (18-20mm equivalent).

If not, just return it.

I would not go lower than 0.66x.

In fact, this 0.7x one could be a better choice.

The reviews are positive.
