I came to this thread 2 months later and still no answer. Hmmm..

I have the same question. I assume you are talking about the type that fits between the camera and the lens, and allows full control over lens functions? (The type you screw onto the outer end of the lens barrel is sometimes also called teleconverter. They are OK but they tend to create color cast and lower clarity of the images.)

Oly has a nice one but it seems it only works with Oly lenses and only some Oly lenses at that. The main thing to watch out for is loss of controls (AF, etc.).

I hope one of us gets an answer somewhere. I'll keep looking.

Have you tried the ETC or even digital zoom of GX7? ETC (Extended Tele Converter) is a in-camera cropped. Enabling the function, and use a smaller file size would give similar effect (but smaller file size).
