Pro90is and converter lenses

I was wondering what are the "best" wide angle and telecoverter lenses for the Pro90is? Is the Olympus B-300 ideal, and will it work? Also, how about a wide converter. I ordered the Kenko 0.65x pro wide converter and haven't recieved it yet, and was wondering if anyone has had experience with it. Is it good, or does anyone have a better suggestion? It is still on backorder and I can cancel if someone has a better idea.

Hi Joe,

Earlier threads on this forum regarding the B-300 and Canon WC-DC58 wide converter had excellent pictures attached. It appears that the B-300 is the best teleconverter option.

I do not know anything about the Kenko .65x and can not remember seeing a thread on it. Do an advanced search on this forum for Kenko to see if there are any comments on it.

I am going to order the 2 converters I referenced above for my Pro90 soon. Take care and happy shooting with your Pro90, Greg

Hi Joe

The Canon wide angle lens is good but don't bother with the Canon teleconverter. It works nicely with the G1 but is truly gross with the Pro90. In actual use the basic Pro90 lens has a long reach.
