Will this fit on a sx50?

Available?

Amazed that a lens placed in front works.

I won't recommend these type of lenses for the sx50, unless you can fit a tube adapter like the Panasonic fz300 (to minimize weight from the mechanical zoom lens)

For the above test I just hand holded the teleconverter infront of the G3X. It was just an experiment. Sort of like this: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59585354

As for the teleconverter itself, you can try to find them on the used market. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the branded names, just stay away from the generic stuff.
