I just read and thought I'd offer a quick response. Traditional telephoto extenders that fit between camera and lens (like the 1.4x converter for the Olympus 40-150mm and 300mm pro lenses are generally only used with relatively fast aperture lenses. With a 1.4x converter you loose 1 stop of aperture, so the lens would become an f/5 - f/8 lens. I'd be very surprised if any such device were ever offered. The Olympus 1.4x converter can only be used with the 40-150 and 300mm pro lenses and costs about $350. You'd be better off buying one of the longer telephoto zooms.
